A Good Snow

First green tree for Frances. Last year we just had her pink tree up- now we have both.

If I can't have my mom's chocolate covered cherries...guess I will just have to make my own!

Don't most little girls wear their Little Red Riding Hood dress to trim the tree?

My snow angel...could barely get up after making a snow angel...too many layers!

Enjoyed the 6-8 inches that fell in our area last night and today. I felt like a tourist as I watched in fascination people removing snow from their drive ways and walk ways with snow shovels, snow blowers, and plow trucks. Everything was salted and sanded. Amazing.

Frances is way into making snow angels- she woke up early with a smile on her face anticipating playing in the snow.

Wish I had a picture of Frances opening up her present from her Grandma and Grandpa! She was so excited when she opened up her box to fine the number one item on her Christmas list- Hungry Hungry Hippo!

...number two and three on this list- a spork and a popsicle maker?!!

Our first New England snow

hmmmm.... this tree is right side up when I choose it? But it is still pretty outlined in snow with a bright blue sky...sideways.

It has been a warm fall (until now) in Massachusetts. Just last week Frances pulled the front door shut as I yelled "NO"! We had stepped out onto the front porch to grab the mail...in our lounge pants and bare feet. Luckily it was all sunshine and 64 degrees warm while we waited for a random passerby-er to loan us their phone so we could call Frank at work to come home and open the door. Ah...good times.

So this week is snowy and cold. Glad I learned that lesson last week!

We are off to hunt down a Christmas tree, this wintry snow has us in the perfect mood.

Frank: Honey, you may not survive a New England winter.

Me: Ha whatever! This is nothing! Little snow, a little warmth. I thought winters here were brutal????
