We had a great night planned with friends. We were hosting a Christmas dinner party with lots of good food and fun things planned.
There was forecast for snow, but in talking to everyone that day we were still a go. After all, we had all lived in Utah, Michigan, Minnesota or Boston.
An hour and a half before it was to start it looked like this out our front door.
But it kept coming, and it kept accumulating. Apparently there is all of one snow plow where we live and that combined with people out here not knowing how to drive the roads got really treacherous. 45 minutes before we were to start and after many phone calls we officially cancelled the night.
My beautiful table was not sat at.
The food was not eaten.
The white elephant gifts not exchanged.
The party gifts not given.
I have to admit I had myself a little cry.
And then I tried to get over it and enjoy the fact that it was snowing with my children.
And so just because I want to, I'm including all the pictures I had taken for fun of the table.

I'm so sad for you, but at least your kids then got to enjoy all the wonderfulness of your dinner, especially that country time drink. We need to make that for Christmas. Beautiful table, did the kids help you gather the decorations?
