Snowy Christmas Memories....

So today I was having some flash-backs.

As I bundled up little Elliot at the door of the grocery store, I looked up and was amazed to see

S N O W

falling!

Now, we don't normally get snow in the Pacific Northwest at this time of the year in the valleys.

So,

I was more than a little bit excited!

I LOVE SNOW!

We rushed home so that Elliot could stand out in the yard and catch snowflakes 

& admire all of God's handiwork.

Alas, the snow didn't stick or amount to anything....but just the same...

it S N O W E D!

:)

This, of course sent me down the memory lane of snowy Christmases past....

I decided to take a moment to dig through the archives to get you

(hopefully)

excited about getting those Christmas Decorations out

(as soon as the Thanksgiving Day Tryptophan is setting in of course!)

The photo you see above is of a shot I did way back

over here on my Blueberry Cream Cheese Rolls post.

That was a heavenly snow day and  a half!

....just lovely....

....and yummy I might ad!

Of course, I'd love to tell you that we get to enjoy the snow days alot around here....

but sadly there just aren't many of them in the

rainy Pacific Northwest.

:(

So when there is SNOW, we celebrate!!!

We sled, we make snowballs, we make snow forts, and we even get down and make snow angels!

You betcha!

then,

if we are so lucky to have one...

we come inside and enjoy the

fire.... 

We don't have a fireplace at our house...but we do candles really well!

I also must admit that we do fun old fashioned colorful lights at Christmas too!

I live in one of those great old

cottage bungalows which just

S C R E A M S

"Decorate me in Vintagey Goodness!!! Please????"

So the buttercup colored cottage gets its dollop of sweet candy coated colors for the season....and once in awhile it gets

S  N O W

too!

"....I'm dreaming of a white.....Christmas. Just like the ones I knew before....."

Back with more memories before too long....
