I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas!

Andrew and I have a bit of a routine in the evenings. I go into bed and he follows shortly thereafter and sits up at the table in our bedroom for the night to do work. Last night as he walked into the room he opened the curtains enough for me to look out and see the snow falling to the ground. That moment was much more surreal than the rest of the night. Andrew stayed up to watch the Texans game(American football), which in Scotland requires him staying up till 1am when the game starts(it ends around 4am)! In the middle of the game Gaius wakes up quite disturbed saying his diaper hurts...later we realized it was his stomach, our first clue being projectile vomiting! Andrew woke me and I was up for a couple of hours, though he stayed up the entire duration of Gaius sick time.
I got up the next morning to find the ground blanketed in a white fluffy layer of snow. The first thing Gaius said to me when he woke up was, "I watch football with Daddy last night!" Praise the Lord that whatever it was that upset his stomach last night seems to have moved on.
This morning after a bit of a late start we put on our warm coats and played in the snow. It was so much fun!
The problem with Scotland is that these past two winters have not shown us much snow - just very dark, wet, gloomy and cold days. The First of December brought with it the first really great snow, so here's hoping for a snowy winter and not just a wet one!

Gideon was not thrilled about getting snow on his hands.

The dog loved the snow - he and Gaius got on the ground together and ate snow!

Michelin Man or Gideon? We may never know!

Can you see the brown speck in the middle of the field? Yes, that is Max the dog. It was really pretty to look at in person but the photo just does not due it justice.
