Winter is…

Hearing the high winds and snow as it dusts the windows like so

Snow on our front screen door...

and opening the door in the morning and finding that it will only open halfway

and stepping outside in your favorite around-the-house sweater and slippers to capture the aftermath

Gazing at holiday lights at night and the fluffy snow that complement them

Pulling out the cookie press and sprinkles to bake edible delights

Rosemary Sugar Cookies

Decorating the banister and hanging the stockings (This year we have real garland!)

Not feeling obligated to leave the house because you couldn’t get out even if you tried

025

Custom knit hats and drippy noses

Footie PJs and festive accessories

Perfectly imperfect holiday family photos

Eyeing special ornaments day in and day out

Exchanging gifts with family

And more of this

Snow Fluff

which will serve as a comforting reminder to slow down, enjoy the warmth of home, and give thanks.

Here’s to hoping Mother Nature decides to share a little Winter with us soon!
