Merry Christmas and Happy Snow Days!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
The snowfall we had the day after Christmas topped off the season very nicely. Steve and I rounded up two cardboard boxes with wax coatings on the outside and went on a sledding adventure! We had so much fun and were frozen by the time we finished. I even tried my hand at snow cream later that day which turned out delicious.



















This was the first spot Steve and I chose for our sledding ventures.









This critter loves frolicking in the snow.




This is the most snow I've seen (about 6 inches) since my freshman year at UNCG; that snow was a memorable one that relieved us of classes for a day. Too bad it can't stick around!

Brrrrr...

Soo whatever winter weather forecasters said that it would be a warm winter.... sorry but I'm gonna have to disagree.
The high today in Greensboro isn't even at freezing! And the highs for the week won't rise above 44 degrees. The low tonight? 17 degrees. I looked out the window last night around midnight and it was snowing again. It's just crazy. I've never seen a snowfall as early as occurred this year and there's some more forecasted to fall later in the week.
So, snuggle up to someone and stay warm :)

First Snow of the Winter!

Mr. Jack Frost brought us our first snowfall of the winter this weekend! My dad made a visit so me, Sadie, Steven, Dad, and some friends went shopping at the mall (Confession: I bought a pair of jeggings....Google it), and it was quite an adventure considering we weren't counting on dealing with all the snow! Steven texted me around lunchtime stating it was snowing and sure enough when I checked outside, it was coming down; it didn't stop for several hours so we ended up with about 2 inches according to the Weather Channel. I snapped some shots of the beautiful landscape outside our apartment as I was walking out the door to church this morning. There's just something about the magic and beauty of snow this time of year, love it.











Doing a quick backtrack to Thanksgiving, it was wonderful getting to hang out with family to cook and eat; mom said I did most of the cooking this year, but I'm pretty sure I was only able to do that because she was in the kitchen with me! :) Christmas will be upon us before we know it! On a sad note, I spent my last day with my 3rd graders on Friday, they were sad to see me leave and I was sad to go; I truly loved interning at that school, in that area, and in that grade; 3rd grade might be my new favorite :) We shall see what next semester holds.
