Living in Canada has many positives, however one negative is the crazy snow that sometimes happens. Last week it got pretty crazy in these here parts. Twice Alyson had appointments in the city and detoured over to our house instead of heading into Edmonton because the road was just seriously so bad. Graham said the road to work was like driving on pure ice.....so we pretty much stayed home the whole week.
What is nice on a snowy day? Baking!
It was a week packed with banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, rice crispie squares (for uncle Jon) and finger jello (a new recipe that turned out great). We called it a success in the kitchen and then watched at least one movie each afternoon because this momma was not awesome enough to venture outside to play. Ha! Actually feel a little bad about that.
The snow also made me think Christmas and spurred us on in our quest for a 9 foot tree. Found one, bought it and now it awaits set up. Sweet!!!
Our ladies 'helping' in the kitchen...yes that is it, helping!!!
We turned our back for one minute and this girl got into trouble.
This was what Kingston did in the snow, playing of course!!!
So wish they lived closer. (Just west Edmonton but still.)
Stole this pic from Leslie's Facebook because there was no driving last week.
What a handsome dude!
Dear snow,
You are so beautiful, yet sucky to drive in.
How I love that you make things white and lovely.
I appreciate the urge to bake and have soup upon your arrival.
I also love that it means Christmas is coming!
Thank you snow.
Love ~ Mrs. P
