The weather man predicted a White Christmas for us this year, as predicted Mother Nature cooperated. My daughter and the grandkids were due down around 5. The winds had started picking up with the sleet getting more heavy by the minute with blowing snow mixed in. The mother in me really kicked in and I was starting to worry. Thankfully, they made it in OK. After a wonderful supper, and gift unwrapping completed, we started to play Uno. We played through the wee hours of the morning with the sleet pelting the window. It was finally time to head to bed to wait for the big guy in red to show up.
This is what greeted us Christmas morning.











With the snow stilling coming down it's a virtual winter wonderland outside. With both of the grandkids still here the house is filled with laughter, Mr. P is enduring the extra noise and activity pretty well. What are your plans for the day? Me, well; I'll be playing Uno with the grandkids, or whatever else they dream up. lol :-))

Lynne-Glad everyone is snuggled in safe and sound. I love the picture of the white wicker covered in snow. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas--I turn into the Grinch on the 26th...taking it all down!!
So beautiful. How fun to be snowed in with the grand kids! --Delores
It's beautiful, Lynne! I love the look of ornamental grass in snow.
We have snow again today. It's snowed pretty steady the past two days, but not much accumulation!
Our KC Kids, left the big city around noon Wed, ahead of the storm. They are waiting an extra day and will return Sunday (tomorrow). Our eldest girl and her hubby were headed to Saint Joe this morning. Not sure if they changed their minds. They would be driving right up 29!

Lynn,
We have snow on this side of Missouri. It started yesterday and still in coming down slowly today with little accumulation. I know is was difficult in some areas of the state.
Your pictures, as always, are just perfect. I have a new camera that I am practicing using and hopefully my posts will be more vivid.
Thanks for all you share and have a Wonderful New Year.

Your photos are beautiful, but please don't send any snow my way. :) I will have a full house again tomorrow, or I would be taking things down like Susan. Enjoy your family.
Hi Lynne, what a mess it's still come down... about foot on Friday and about 3 more inch today so far....Was not able to get out yesterday. We were to go to our son in olathe ks, for christmas.Take care Pat H
Such a pretty sight indeed, Lynne, something I probably will never see here. John and I had a very quiet day but nice, I wasn't feeling too good so aside from going to church, we stayed home by ourselves...Christine
Beautiful snow pictures, Lynne!! And we have plenty of that stuff today. Too bad it makes it hard for driving...
I love the pictures of your lake. the pampas grass is so pretty!

Hello! Those photos look just like our yard in Independence. I'm not sure where you are located, but I'm gathering you are somewhere close! What a wild Christmas Eve and Day! We made it to our festivities on both Thurs. eve. and Fri. afternoon. . . a bit later than what we had planned, but at least we were safe and sound! We had snow all afternoon today, too!
It sounds as though you had a wonderful Christmas....Happy New Year wishes to you and yours, too! Dana
Oh these pictures are beautiful Lynne! So glad travel plans went well. My grands are too young for UNO, so last night we played "Simon Says" and had a great time! Hope everyone has a safe trip home.
Lynne,
Just gorgeous....your blog inspires me....you are a blessing...

We were lucky and just had a skiff of snow over Christmas but it's been so blasted cold! We're definitely colder than usual and I'm hating it! I don't do winter well, lol!
Hi Lynne, the pictures are stunning! Just breathtaking.
Thanks for your kind and lovely comments to me....you are an angel.
May God richly bless you and your family in this New Year.
Hugs, Barb ♥
Your white Christmas was amazing Lynne! I hope all is plowed & everyone got home safely. ☺♥☺
How amazing to get that beautiful blessing of snow at Christmas. We don't see that much now that we've moved to AL...but once, when I was VERY pregnant with my 2nd child, we work up to amazing snow!!!!
I pray that your CHRISTmas was amazing!
Thank you for your welcoming note on my blog.
Many blessings to you,
Lana
