Christmas is upon us

This year has been abnormally wet, so far, in our little neck of the woods. This morning, we woke up to more snow, and it is still snowing...








So, here I sit, conflicted. Jeremy hates the snow. And he has good reason - he is out and about, right now as I type this, driving in the snow, delivering and installing super nice appliances all over the Treasure Valley. But I, on the other hand, have been sitting back, enjoying the peaceful quiet flakes fall softly to the ground. And this makes me think back to my childhood days of romping around in the snow banks that the snowplows would pile high on our road. We would build snow caves, go sledding at the nearby Menan Butte, and then we would warm up our painfully cold hands with warm coffee cups full of hot cocoa topped off with gigantic marshmallows. Yum.

It is this time of year, when everything slows down and you realize that the only things that are truly important in your life is the love that you share within your home, with your family and friends. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful husband to hug whenever I want, and four perfectly crazy little boys that fill our house with laughter and love.




My Christmas wish for all of you is for you to enjoy the season with the ones you love, wherever that may be. Have a very Merry Christmas and lots of eggnog or hot chocolate!
