It’s been quite an eventful past couple of days. Christmas is lots of fun, but as I discover more and more each year, it is a very hectic/stressful holiday. There’s plenty of relatives to visit, gifts to buy, and sleep to “not” get. (So much for Patrick catching up on the Zzz’s over his work break!)
.
The night before Christmas we ended up staying up all night, and I mean literally, all night. (We went to sleep at 10am, and woke up at 11!) We were baking cooking, stretching taffy, and sugar coating pecans. I was a zombie at my mother in laws house. We survived, though. We did a lot of the same old stuff we do every year. (Eat, open gifts, hug each other, read the Christmas story, etc…)

Something rather exciting and unordinary did happen, though, that I simply must share. We had a white Christmas! Texas actually got some snow, for once! Technically, it fell on the day before, but Christmas Eve was good enough, especially considering we didn’t think we were getting any at all! We ended up with about 3 inches of fluffy white goodness. Patrick and I went completely nuts, and decided to do something crazy and spontaneous. We made snow angels…

…in our bathing suits.

That’s Patrick’s, “oh my gosh, this is freaking cold,” face.
I swear I made a snow angel, too! Unfortunately, the angle was terrible and inappropriate for public viewing, forcing me to post a typical posing shot. Funny thing is, I actually went outside a second time in an awful attempt to get a better snow angel picture. No such luck, I guess. (Now that I think about it, it’s not that funny.)

You know, they say that once a person eats 100% raw food, they are more capable of withstanding extreme temperatures. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I do now know that the opposite is true… we don’t eat all raw, and we almost froze to death! I’ll have to remember that for future reference.

Poor little Axel, I’m sure he thinks his parents are nut cases.

But you know, maybe we are.
