Yesterday was our first major snow storm of the season. I was in work for only a few hours before they decided to shut down early for the day. Yay! Snow Day! Our neighbors are hosting an open house this weekend. Rather then bring a hostess gift for our hosts extraordinaire, I decided to make cocoa kits for their three kids. I think they will get a kick out of these.
Here are the after effects of the storm. It wasn't too bad, maybe 5 inches or so of snow. Jeff's outside snow blowing the sidewalks now.
These trees act as the fence between our backyard and our neighbors. I think they make a lovely set of Christmas trees with the new fallen snow.
Margot doesn't mind the snow. She likes to run around in it but she was a bit timid as this is the first storm of the season and I don't think she quite remembers what to do!
A little housekeeping, I have one Silver Glitter Tree Ornament left in my shop if anyone is interested. Now I must get ready for work, I really should be out the door soon! Have a wonderful day friends.
P.S. Special thanks to Karla for hosting the fabulous Holiday Home party. I was overwhelmed by all the wonderful comments I received! I think I got to visit all of you and share in your wonderful and magical worlds!
WOW "only" 5 inches??? That sounds like 5 inches more than we ever get! Looks so magical and dreamy!
ReplyDeleteI have to ask, what is a cocoa kit?
Hi Karla, the snow is gorgeous! Margot looks adorable, does she shiver in the cold? We always wondered, don't laugh!! The trees are magnificent, thanks for showing us such besutiful sights! Jenn and Jacqui
