A White Christmas to Remember

We loaded up the family station wagon (well SUV) and headed to Bama for Christmas on Friday. I wish I had taken a picture of how much “stuff” we had packed in the car. You would think we were a family of 5. I would have taken a pic, but would have been too embarrassed to post b/c it is only the two of us, plus a dog (and a little dog at that). We will definitely have to learn to be more efficient packers whenever the Pope family expands. We enjoyed three nights and four days of R&R and spending time w/ family and friends. I always feel I can TRULY RELAX when I’m at my parents. I actually become quite lazy when I’m there. When I’m at my own home I always feel I should be cleaning, doing laundry or something productive.

Some of the highlights of Christmas weekend included:
~Christmas Eve w/ Jason’s family
~Christmas Day w/ my family ~ we were thankful to have my Grandma from Montgomery visiting for the entire weekend!!
~Our annual trip to the movies on Christmas Day (saw Little Fockers…..not as good as the first, but pretty funny)
~Church and lunch w/ my parents, the Griffiths & Chandlers to our favorite…China Luck….nothing says Christmas better than Egg Rolls (haha)
~Lots of coffee drinking, cookie eating and Scrabble playing….yes I scored 60 points with the word “QUESTION”…had to brag Jason..LOL!
~2nd Day after Christmas shopping in Bham and lunch at Zoes…oh how I miss Bham :(

It was a wonderful weekend and I really hated to see it come to an end. I’m really lacking on my picture taking right now and will try to do better in 2011. Like I said, I become really lazy when I’m home. However, the big highlight of Christmas Day, was our WHITE CHRISTMAS!! It began snowing around 10:00 on Christmas morning and never seemed to stop. The Oxford/Anniston area received about 3 inches of snow. I did manage to take a few pics of the snow. Hope everyone enjoyed their holidays as much as we did!!

Lots of snow collected on Jason's car and continued to fly off driving down 1-20 on Monday (about scared me to death)

Hope the rose bushes hold up!
