Christmas in North Carolina

We had an early morning flight out of Detroit on December 23 to North Carolina and have been enjoying lots of time with Eric's family.  I feel like all we've been doing is eating...there have been so many good meals, it's going to be hard to get back to my healthier eating habits.

These are only some of the goodies we've been eating.

Our Christmas meal was a 20 lb prime rib roast...it was delicious!

Our 8 year old neice, Anna, decided she wanted to capture a family picture on Christmas day.  She strategically put us in our places and took a few pictures...the best is posted here.  Not too bad for an 8 year old using a cell phone camera.

Christmas evening it began snowing and when we woke up on December 26, we had received about 5" of snow.  It had been decades since central North Carolina had a white Christmas.  It was a wet, heavy snow and was absolutely beautiful.  Of course it won't last long as the forecast is for temperatures to be in the 60s by Friday!

We had fun playing in the snow with our nieces, Anna and Abbie.  Anna preferred to eat the snow. :-)

The snow was prefect for making a snowman.
