Yesterday was Christmas Eve and I started my day by going into work for a few hours to get some things done before the end of the year since our office is closed until the 2nd on January. Yea for me! Off with pay! After dinner the plans were to finish wrapping gifts, go to church then have Christmas dinner at a friends house. The friends requested that we bring asparagus and bread to dinner, so I figured I would grab these items at the store on the way home from work. This plan was all well and good until I discovered that Lafayette was completely out of asparagus. So, Noah called the host couple to find out what else they would have us bring. Potatoes, yams and green beans were out and I was drawing a blank. One call to my mom and she saved the day! Creamed corn of course! Yum! My Grandma’s recipe and oh so much better than asparagus! Done. I headed home to finish the wrapping and making the corn and we were out the door for church…arriving 15 minutes late since our church is in Boulder. Oh well. We made it for the sermon.

After the candlelight service we headed to our friends house in Frederick where we had dinner. We were also informed on the news that there was a 50% chance it would snow last night. However, when we left our friends’ house the sky was only partly cloudy. I thought for sure we were going to get jipped and I was going to be without a White Christmas this year. Made it home around 11:40pm and we still had gifts to wrap. But when we made it to bed around 2am it had started to snow! Yea! When I got up this morning we found out that not only was it snowing, but we had a Winter Storm Warning and would get 2-8″ of snow!

Christmas morning, like last year, was spent opening gifts with my family, in California, via webcam. This afternoon we went to dinner at Noah’s uncle’s house, who lives 3 blocks from our house. So we bundled up and trudged through the snow, with the puppy on leash. It was awesome! We headed to their house on the open space trail and returned on the streets to view all the Christmas lights. If it weren’t for the kennel and wreath Noah was carrying and Lava trying to kill me by running around on ice, it could have been very romantic.

Our measurement of snow at home was 3″. I gained my second White Christmas and my first Christmas was falling snow! Christmas 2007 is definitely one to go down in the books!

When I get around to it, I’ll post a few pictures I snapped this morning of the tree, presents and Lava attacking her stocking.
