When the snow fell...

All we could do was build a snowman.

We named him Mr. Snowman. Pretty creative, huh? Thanks for coming to play in the snow with us, Megan!

It's been snowing pretty consistently here for the last week. On Monday alone it probably snowed close to 9 inches.

Almost every apartment in our complex is empty these days. Everyone is visiting family for the holidays. We, fortunately, did not have to make the long drive to Matt's parents. They came here instead. So it's pretty quiet around here. And now Mr. Snowman will be here to greet everyone when they come back from vacation.

I do not love the snow, but there are a few good things that happened due to this snow fall. We built a snowman (which I haven't done in a long, long time), and I happened to find my hot pink, furry mittens that have been lost for over a year. I absolutely loved those mittens. They were a Christmas present from my best friend Brittany a few years ago, and apparently sometime last winter I left them in the inside pockets of the coat I'm seen wearing above. A coat that obviously never gets worn. But thank goodness for our last snowfall.

I'm in charge of Christmas dinner, so I'll be sure to post pictures later of the delicious food I'm preparing!
