Guys, you’ll never believe this. We had 6 inches of snow Friday night. Remember the last time it snowed and my friend with the really bad luck who had an Amazon van stuck in her driveway?
Well guess what just happened??

I couldn’t manage decorating the house this year. Sweet hubs got us a live “Charlie Brown” tree and I’m so grateful I don’t have to take down a whole tree this weekend!
