SNOW! Yes,
snow, the wonderful Christmas kind of snow that falls softly overnight and blankets the neighborhood the next morning . . . just what we need to really feel the
warmth of the season. After decorating gingerbread cookies last night and watching the classic "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" the little girls were skipping around the house this morning after we had
hot chocolate with whipped cream, and then while Christmas tunes played in their bedroom as they got ready for school.
Ahhhh, I love it. It's mornings like these when the excitement from Elizabeth is just electric and is truly what makes
Christmas so special . . . those
feelings you remember from your childhood. It's those memories of family, warmth, and heightened
anticipation, combined with the smells, sounds, and tastes of the season that one never forgets.
Hopefully we'll have more mornings like today this season . . . even if the girls did get to school 30 minutes late!!
Oh, and I'm putting the thought that I haven't STARTED Christmas shopping yet, completely out of my mind . . . I think today I'll enjoy more hot cocoa and turn on the fire :-).
