apology accepted.

close enough!

i call this mother nature's way of giving me an apology 

for ornery, cranky children all day on my birthday yesterday.

indeed,

quite the apology.

you're forgiven universe;)

and in the words of brennan,

"i apology accept you."

glory be,

the 1st snow of the year is always the very best.

mostly because you know it will be

THE ONLY

time of the entire snow season

where the 20 minutes it takes to get them dressed

to go out in the snow

will be totally

and completely

worth it.

because the thrill of the flakes is just so brand new.

like they've never played in it before in their entire lives.

and as i walked through the fresh half foot of snow around the back with max,

i couldn't imagine ever being sick of it snowing.

{except may is always so far away when it's januray.}

but for now,

we will just relish in the newness of it.

the official changing of the guards.

where fall hands its torch over to father christmas,

and the christmas lights on our house start to glow through blankets of snow.

like something out of a story book you've always dreamed of living in.

they maxed out at just over an hour today.

the kids in the snow.

praise the heavens above:)

it's Christmastime!

 raising snow lovers one snowy day at a time over here.

OH HAPPY DAY:)
