A White Christmas


Well it was not exactly on Christmas obviously, but during our visit to Louisiana to celebrate Christmas with our families that we had our white Christmas. We headed to Louisiana last Thursday and were greeted by at least 4 inches of soft beautiful snow. Snowing in Louisiana is a rarity so we were super excited to get to play in it. Less exciting were the complications the snow brought with it. We were supposed to stay with Rocky's parents for a couple of days and then with my mom the other half, but wound up changing all of our plans around because Rocky's parents didn't have power for 2 days. Since it was in the thirties outside we figured we'd better stay with my mom and enjoy the heater.

We were in town for a wedding Rocky was in and to visit with our families so our 3 day weekend was jam-packed. It was a little crazy but a fun time.

opening presents at my mom's house. I love Rocky's goofy expression in the background. I'm sad I don't have pictures of what she did earlier that evening; my mom brought her to look at some cool Christmas lights in town.

Making christmas cookies with Rocky's mom. Adelaide had a great time using the cookie cutters.

There were some sparklers left over from the wedding Rocky was in so Adelaide got to play with firecrackers for the first time. She was very cautious and would only hold it for a second before asking for help. I can appreciate that.

Riding a horse with her cousin Claire.
Another horse riding picture. I love Adelaide's hair in this picture. That day it was just gorgeous, must have been the perfect humidity or something, but it had these beautiful big curls all day.

Opening presents again. Can you tell she likes the ballerina skirt?

Her and Claire in their matching Christmas pajamas. Aren't they cute?
