KJ and the blustery snowfall...brrrrr
We were snowed-in this weekend with Winter's welcome and a giant snow system that moved up the entire U.S. east coast. After the stormstorm was said and done, the final tally was 21 inches in town and up to 30 inches in the surrounding mountains. More than either of us have seen in quite some time. It truly made for a magical winter wonderland right outside our front door :) So what to do during the snowstorm? Well of course KJ and I ventured out into the snow and walked around our neighborhood. It was so magical and serene with everything covered in a thick blanket of snow. After an hour or so of wandering about, we did start to get cold, so it was time to warm-up inside and drink some hot coffee and tea.
It had been several weeks since we both had a weekend off together. KJ has been working ridiculously in Q4 (10-14 hours a day for 7 days a week) so we took this time together as pure gold. We listened to Christmas music, watched movies, baked cookies together, and just relaxed! I am finally getting into the holiday spirit :) I'm still not finished with present shopping and with only a few days left, I'm not sure how I'm going to accomplish this hehe Anyhow, the snow is expected to stay on the ground until Christmas with a 'winter mix' coming on Christmas Eve. So all this pretty snow just might make for a White Christmas...or a slushy mess :(

Lovely snowfall :) I agree, it's so beautiful, it really cleans up everything. And when it's cold out there, best thing to do is cuddle up and really go for the Christmassy theme. I'm looking for my Bing Crosby Cd ;)
If I don't hear from you before the holidays, have a very merry Christmas!
