Christmas snow

not exactly a white Christmas but the people here surely sounded excited about a chance for a white Christmas. There hasn't been a white Christmas in Raleigh since the '40s... the snow fell Christmas night though. I don't think it counts as a white Christmas... but we did get quite a bit (for snow in Raleigh).


Nick made Abby a snowman. Look closely there's a G for Gatorade in his eyes.
