A White Christmas

Cedar City has been pretty dry and warm this winter. Since our first winter here, 5 years ago, i have never seen such little snow. It really seemed so strange that the ground wasn't white leading up to Christmas. When we woke up Christmas morning that was not the case though. Leighton looked out our bedroom window and said "It's a Christmas miracle!" It really kind of was. 

After opening presents and talking to my sister Leighton excitedly asked if she could play outside. Even though it really was freezing we thought it would be fun. The day was so low key and nice, why not throw some snow around. Our poor girls look like the boy off the Christmas Story once they are all bundled up, but apparently they are warm.  Emersyn didn't last too long but Leighton stayed out back for almost an hour. 

Little em isn't sure how she feels about the cold white stuff yet. If she is anything like her sister though, she will love it soon enough. 

Saturday we celebrated Christmas with the Leavitt side of the family and it was perfect weather for playing outside. The wind wasn't blowing so it honestly almost felt warm in the sun. We hooked up the sleds to Penn's four wheeler and dragged the girls around the yard. Their yard is perfect for sledding.

Snow or not, all of our holiday celebrations were amazing! Really we loved spending so much time with our families and the girls were so much fun. Kaden got to have several days off of work and that is always a treat. I felt so blessed to have such a beautiful Christmas and to have so many special people in our lives.
