Brrr... It feels like winter now!

We're now living in our winter wonderland. The snow gives a beautiful covering to all the trees and is starting to form it's protective covering around part of our house. We can't see out our bedroom window, due to a thick layer of ice and snow. The patterns are quite lovely. The Lord has given safety as we traveled to town and back several times this week. I am ever so thankful to have completed the monthly grocery shopping trip. We are just about finished with all our Christmas baking and look forward to sharing it and enjoying it with family and friends! We've already savored several cups of cocoa and look forward to many more, as it is a wonderful way to warm up through the winter. I'm going to treasure the next couple months especially as it is the one part of the year where there's very little pressure to travel about. Treasuring Lillian's last couple months before she turns 1. How quickly this year has passed. Our little one is 9 months old tomorrow and standing up unassisted. She is quite close to taking her first steps without the furniture and once that happens, she's going to keep us on our toes:).
