the first snow

Our first snow arrived yesterday! It was supposed to start early Sunday morning so I was giddy in anticipation of waking up to a blanket of snow on the ground. Needless to say, that didn't happen but it didn't damper my spirits one bit. It started not too long after I woke up. It was more of a snow/sleet combination but I am still counting it. I am sure those of you who live up North are probably laughing because I am this excited over this skiff of snow, but we don't take our snow for granted around here!
We spent the day in due to the roads being icy. I stepped outside for about 5 minutes to snap these photos, but quickly returned inside. I am such a whimp when it comes to the cold! Stephen played video games and made music while I edited photos, wrote in my journal & updated my facebook page. I watched two movies (Lars and the Real Girl & Blue Valentine) on Netflix that a few friends had recommended to me. Not my favourites, but they were still good! The cats took their turns between lounging on our laps and watching the snow fall. They are big fans of the snow too.
Snow is on the forecast for the next two days. I am really hoping it does a bit more than it did yesterday, but I'll be happy with anything! Did you guys get any snow this weekend? I hope you were braver than me and ventured out. Happy Monday!

  2. Your cat is so cute. We haven't had snow here, but it was pretty cold all weekend. We stayed at home all Sunday and watched movies. Cold weekends are the best ;)

    1. Aw, thanks! We like him too :) And I agree, cold weekends are the best. They give you a good reason to stay in and do the things you don't get to do all the time.

  5. I don't cope very well with the snow, well it's the cold that's the problem I guess. I don't like a bit though, like the crunchiness of it beneath your feel. Thanks for stopping by, loved being in on the giveaway!

  7. I am so jealous! All we got was ice upon ice.. Tommy and I spent a good 15 minutes scraping ice off my car last night. I'm really hoping we'll get some flakes.. the sky is such a tease!!!

    Ps, loving Henry :)

    1. Ours was mostly ice and a little snow, but I am still counting it as snow ;) I am just waiting for a blizzard to come through!

  8. The first snow here was also very soft and light. My kid really wanted to do snow angels, but there was not nearly enough snow for that. :)

  9. So pretty! All we got this weekend was ice (ugh), but it was a nice excuse to get cozy on the couch and drink a ton of hot chocolate regardless!
