I cannot stop taking photos of the natural beauty around us, especially on snow days. I know people have been living in places where it snows for centuries, but this is all so new to us and I just can’t get used the beauty of it all… and I hope I never do. But in the mean time, I also hope that I’m not boring you with my photos and excitement.
After about a week without snow, it finally came down quick and hard yesterday afternoon and covered everything around us in a thick puffy white layer of gorgeousness within a few hours. We got all bundled up to take a walk and on our way home, I slipped and fell so quickly that I didn’t know what had happened until I looked up from the ground, my head and body covered in snow… laughing. It’s hard not to laugh when you fall. It’s just a complete outer body experience that wakes you up and puts you right in the moment and really is one of the funniest things ever. While I was a little sore from the fall, the husband and I replayed it about a million times throughout the remainder of the day and laughed harder each time we thought about it.
1. The husband got me a 2000 piece puzzle for Christmas and since this week was a little difficult to get into work mode, I decided a puzzle was the way to go. However, it didn’t keep me from feeling guilty about not working and/or staring outside at the snowfall.
2. Walking in a winter wonderland outfit post a favorite so far
3. The husband carrying a salt bag to our car… so cute 😉
4. The lake near sunset
5. The Christmas tree in our master bedroom
6. Coloring fun with Delilah on Christmas Day
7. LeRoy using his new doggy dog toy as a pillow
8. The trees outside our house on Christmas day… as soon as most of the snow melts away from everything, it snows again and covers it all just as quickly. Have I mentioned how much I love living here?
9. We have been stopping by the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory once a week to stock up on chocolates and these are by far my favorites; dark chocolate covered peanut clusters… I ate them for breakfast a few times last week as a Christmas treat!
10. A favorite Vogue cover from November 2006 {I haven’t quite finished unpacking just yet :/}
