Snow-Covered Cottage

A white Christmas in Alvin. You've got to be kidding! It is true. Snow began falling Christmas Eve and by morning all of Alvin was blanketed by 4-6 inches of snow. It was truly a beautiful sight. No one remembers the last time Alvin had snow on Christmas Day. The Cottage House was picturesque and took on a truly Victorian air.
