We came home in this last night, the winter storm we had been waiting for for weeks finally arrived. Winter took it's time getting here this year and can't say I'm let down by it. With an excellent fall behind me and Christmas on the way it feels like the perfect time, a quiet Sunday, to wake up to 10 inches of snow. And what a quiet Sunday it has been...I'm not sure whether or not it was the snow that caused church to be canceled, but apparently the meeting house power wasn't working...no power, no lights, no heat so they canceled.
So we all came home, got in our pjs again, and this is what we've been doing...some good old togetherness.
Adam read a short story to the girls. He's so great about sharing what he loves with them and I love to see, not only them together, but the girls soaking in all the goodness he shares with them.
With snow currently coming down with abandon, a fire going, and a quiet Sunday ahead of us we decided why not start decorating, especially since we're going to be gone for Thanksgiving and we usually do it the day after. We had some crazy moments of lights not working, TVs almost falling, & cords ripping (don't ask), but ever since we moved passed the crazy moments we've all been enjoying the warmth of the twinkling of the lights, me especially...it's one of my favorite parts of the holiday. I even put some up in my studio I don't think I'll never take down. There's just something about the lights that add to a home.
I hope it's been an equally fabulous day for you!

This seriously sounds like the best Sunday. The best.
I love quiet sundays at home! And a small part of me is jealous of the holiday decorations.
I'm not sure when I'm going to decorate, or even if I will decorate. With the window renovations happening "sometime in the first two or three weeks" it seems silly to set up everything, and then have to drag it to the middle of the room and cover it with tarps for several days. *sigh*
Sounds like the perfect day! We decorated on Friday night. For some reason, we couldn't wait to get it done. Usually it's the Monday after Thanksgiving.
Love that first photo == and I can't wait for it to snow over here!! Definitely my kind of Sunday. xo
I love jammie days! Didn't think I would miss the snow for a few years, that first picture kinda has me wondering now :)
Today I was breaking out in a sun induced sweat walking to get Mya from school. It still is shorts and flip flop business here!
Wow 10 inches of snow and church canceled?! That sounds like a dream come true!
We didn't get much snow at all and definitely didn't have church canceled.
