A Mashed Potato Christmas
A wonderfully mushy, slushy, fluffy, white Christmas. We actually had one. In Texas. I know, I can hardly believe it myself!
The snow started coming down hard on the afternoon of Christmas Day and we ended up getting three inches of build up! My dad and sister had a snowball fight in the backyard and the temperatures have been low enough that the snow still hasn't melted. It actually looks like a winter wonderland and makes all of us, even the oldies, feel like kids again. Today I'm hoping that we'll make a big pot of chili, buy some marshmallows and roast them by the fire. I think the weather out-shined any of the gifts that we received for Christmas, however I did get to break in my new STAND MIXER last night that my sister got me. Hip hip hooray!
I hope that you all have had a joyous, happy and warm holiday season and are getting some time off from work before the New Year. I have some big things that I will be sharing with you all soon enough and then it's on to 2013!
I'm so jealous! I can't believe TEXAS got 3" and we got zilch! I'm calling shenanigans. I'm glad you had a great Christmas and got a new stand mixer! What a treat.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Enjoy your time off for the rest of the year ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy to me how often it has snowed in Texas since I moved away. All I wanted growing up was snow on my bday (in January) and NEVER got it. Then I move away and it snows almost ever other year it seems like.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a lovely Christmas! Can't wait to see what you whip up with the new mixer. :)
I had no idea that it snows in Texas! That's so amazing. We only had 3 days of snow and that was it... so far.

Yay for you! It's pretty snowy here but that usually happens in Wisconsin ;-)

ReplyDeleteThat's amazing, Rooth! Our snow didn't come until the next day....bah! Anyhoo, can't wait what you have in store for 2013. XOXO
ReplyDeleteSomething must have gone crazy since we didn't get snow up here until today. We got a slushy mess as well and it's so heavy to shovel. Hope you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you got to have the chili and marshmallows roasted over a fire. That sounds perfect. A nice follow-up to a white Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to hear the big news.
Awesome, white Christmas with marshmallows. I'll stare at your photo, in the hopes that a cold wind blows in the sticky humid tropical December. :)
ReplyDeletehope you had a wonderful Christmas!!! and yayyy stand mixer!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got snow! A white Christmas is always the best. I've had one every year and I don't even mind that it is super cold because everything is just so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you live in a much colder place than I had imagined. Hopefully no issues from the snow--just fun!
ReplyDeleteI want to experience white Christmas as well!! You guys are so lucky ;) Happy holidays to you and your family! ;)
ReplyDeleteI was so wishing for a white Christmas but it didn't happen. It was snowing today but now it is raining. Boohoo...Can't wait for the Snowboard season to start.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you had a white Christmas! Those are my favorite. Happy holidays!!
ReplyDeleteA white Christmas! Amazing :) Those always make the day so much more special in a way that nothing else can. It's making me feel all joyful and festive just thinking about it!
