We are buried in a fresh coat of snow this morning in West Michigan. It appears that winter is here to stay.....so we are praying for a good accumulation of snow for Christmas. The past few years, it seems that we have had a green Christmas with a light dusting of snow at best. Very different from my childhood Christmases which involved many, many inches of snow for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.
Weekend Highlights included our little town's Christmas parade and a visit to see Santa and his real reindeer. It was fun but IT WAS COLD! The kids started out in festive holiday spirits, but by parade time, they were freezing and grumpy. Thankfully, the parade lasted all of 12 minutes before we could get back in the car and head for our toasty-warm house.
Yesterday involved a quick trip to Central Michigan for our nephew's brunch wedding reception, and then home in time for my local scrap store's annual VIP status. I'm not sure exactly how much you have to spend throughout the year to be considered "VIP" but let's just say......I get an invitation every year! I picked up a new album, some supplies for an acrylic album that I am going to do over Christmas break, and a new supply of basic Bazzill cardstock. I then stopped for some fajitas and a cup of peppermint white chocolate mocha on the way home......a touch of holiday mint is always so yummy and soothing at this time of year.
Today is school volunteering and then hopefully getting some Christmas decorations out to start sprinkling touches of Christmas around our home. Happy Snow--filled Monday.
