Winter Favs

I’m actually a fan of winter.  I think I trained myself to love it more over the years when David relied on snow for a winter income.  I do not like the cold and freezing temps, but I love a great snowfall and the white flakes falling from the sky.  Although we haven’t had any major snowstorms this year, there have been a few days I’ve enjoyed watching the pretty snow fall.  There are also many other little things I have enjoyed this winter and thought I’d share a few.

We took a trip to Mexico with some good friends at the end of November.  It was a great break right in between the holidays and probably our last big trip for awhile once Baby E. arrives.  Sunshine is always a blessing!

Baby E. got her first gifts for Christmas which was fun.  I of course loved this one that was in her stocking!

Christmas lights are a fav.  I put my tree up in October this year and plan to take it down sometime in February.  I keep a pole tree up year-round and change it for the seasons.  The light in a dark room just brightens my mood.

A beautiful sunrise on a decent winter morning.  I just had to capture the beauty of God’s creation.

Always love my birthday!  David and I got to share a yummy little cake together.  It was just the right size.

Another fav was a birthday gift from David.  We spend 85% of our time in the living room so it is right in view in front of the TV – per David’s request.  A great reminder of God’s blessings – where we’ve been and where we are now.  And we are getting more and more anxious to meet this little one!  I was blessed by his thoughtfulness.

As much as I enjoy winter for a short time, I’m starting to get very anxious for Spring!!
