now, show me...sexy!
christmas eve started off pretty busy! matt and i woke up, grabbed a snack and headed out for some last-minute gift shopping (you didn't honestly think we could fit *everything* into our carry-ons, did you?). back at mom & dad's house we started wrapping gifts, helping prepare food and getting ready for the rest of the family to arrive. we also watched in wonder as the previously warm, sunny landscape was quickly turned into a gray, snowy, cold winter scene. now, most people i know from ohio would think this was upsetting for me and my family...but we're from texas! according to the weatherman, there hadn't been a white christmas in dallas since 1926...so we were *super* excited! the only problem with a white christmas eve in texas? no trucks to clear the roads = no christmas eve services. as the evening progressed we watched as more and more churches listed their services as cancelled for the evening, including our own. so we made the most of our "snowed in" eve with a big fire, a tasty dinner, christmas carols and, finally, opening presents! it was a ton of fun, and i'm so glad that matt and i were able to come back for a white christmas in texas! consequently, it was warmer in columbus the entire week we were gone than it was in dallas! crazy texas weather!
