evidence of winter

1. lingering mornings in jammies dancing on the beds.

2. messy beds.

3. hats, coats, and scarves galore.

4. a cozy pup and her beloved stuffed dragon.

5. we've been coloring in the new coloring books santa brought non-stop.

6. exciting projects to finish.

7. i finally got to break out my new calendar i bought at the santa monica paper source store.

8. a pile of good books to tempt us- i got nick the dennis hopper book for christmas and i've been waiting for a quiet moment to crack it open myself.

9. lingering christmas houses i just can't bring myself to put away yet.

10. a well lived in playroom.

11. a friend of mine gave me the idea of turning our yearly christmas card into an ornament so i've been gathering up our past few years of cards and making them. i love the idea of having a big collection like that and preserving them in such a special way. 

We got a beautiful fresh 5 inches of snow yesterday and we're expecting a bunch more this weekend. I sent Nick to the store for comfort food supplies as we plan to stay in and hibernate. I absolutely love this time of year. We'll have a couple days full of good food, good movies, fires in the fireplace and plenty of hot coco and board games to keep us more than happy.
