Festival of Lights

Rob flew in on Wednesday before Christmas and since his flight didn't land until 11:30 that night, we decided to spend the day in D.C.

We shopped and also decided to go the D.C. temple to look at the Christmas lights. What should have been a 30 minute drive to the temple ended up taking almost 2 hours because of traffic. It was absolutely insane. There were a few moments when my brother almost turned around, but after arriving and seeing how beautiful the lights were, we all decided it was worth it. 

 

 

 

 

 

*Winter Wonderland*

I flew home on the 17th right before the big storm hit. I got home around 1:30 a.m. on Friday and the snow started coming down around 4 that evening. If I had flown a day later I definitely would have been sleeping at an airport somewhere.  By Sunday afternoon the snow finally stopped. It was so exciting to see 2 feet of snow on the ground when it was all over. On Saturday night a few of us got together and decided to go tubing in the road. You would have to be pulled on a tube behind the 4-wheeler, go over the snowbank, and land in a foot of powder. It was a lot of fun. 
Oh and I most definitely got the white Christmas I was hoping for.

10 days!

10 days and counting until I get to go back to WV. I am so excited!! I will be there for almost 2 weeks and it's going to be great. I'm already looking forward to going shopping with my sisters, making sugar cookies with my mom, and spoiling my niece and nephew a little more. I'm also crossing my fingers for a white Christmas. I don't miss the freezing cold weather, but I do miss how beautiful the snow looks and the excitement of the first snowfall.
