It is official, winter is here! Even though the winter solstice is still 6 weeks away, I am counting this as the official start of winter because it snowed for the first time this week (yes, I know it actually snowed last month, but I was out of town so I’m not counting it!).
Although winter is not my favorite time of year, because I don’t like to be cold, there are a few things I’m looking forward to. I absolutely love the holiday festivities! I love listening to Christmas music and I love to drive around looking at the Christmas lights. I am looking forward to having my family over for Thanksgiving dinner, to making a turkey, and baking pies. I can’t wait to put up our Christmas tree and to make my traditional Christmas candies!!
I love to play in the snow with Aiden – sledding and building snowmen. I love it when it snows turning everything into a winter wonder land. I love the snow covered mountains especially at sun rise or sun set when the sun casts a pink hue on them or during the night – it is truly breath taking to see the white mountains against the midnight blue sky.
(I took this picture yesterday on the way home from Grandma's and it looks even better when you blow it up)
Finally, I am looking forward to snuggling up with my sweetheart on the couch in front of the fire watching our favorite Christmas flicks and slipping hot chocolate.
