What's this white stuff??

I do have to say I'm a big fan of Christmas. I love all the decorations, and I even made my own wreath for the front door this year (but no picture, sorry). A week or so ago i put up our Christmas tree, and Jason and I decorated it together.  Here's our tree... darn flash and you can't see the lights!  
Here's the lights... but it's blurry.
And here's the tree last night after I wrapped A TON of presents for all the nieces and nephews... one present for each adds up!
I've been told several times that it doesn't snow in Tennessee... or at least not much.  Well then, what do you call all this white stuff?  This is the view from our front porch Thursday night.
Here is my car Friday morning.  There's probably between an inch or two of snow, but it's all melted now.  I laughed really hard when they cancelled school EVERYWHERE around here... no one knows how to drive with any bit of snow... it scares them.
And here's our house Friday morning... just had to get a picture with snow on the ground.
Taco was a big fan of the snow this year.  He ran around and around in the front yard, but I managed to get him to stand still long enough to get this picture.
Here's our mantle... mantel?  Neither of those look right.  Anyway, here it is, sans fireplace, but these are our stockings.  And NO, the little one is not an announcement, it's Taco's stocking. :)  Like our nativity scene?
Lastly, here's just a random picture of Taco.  This is where I usually find him if I get out of my chair to go do something... he likes to take my spot and claim it as his own, and then he won't move out of the way.

You're right, the tree looks good. House is kinda cute in the snow too.

hey! Thanks for the words of encouragement and expressing your understanding. No, I won't move to NYC. David would never go for that and with kids, not gonna happen. I go to this site, www.findyourspot.com and David and I always get Chattanooga TN as one of our results. And I think we have gotten Memphis before. Check it out, it is so awesome.
