Gift Exchange Goodies and Show & Tell

Some exciting things have happened in the

last 24 hours. First, I made a big change.

I went darker and got bangs. Yep.

Had not planned on it when I walked

into the salon, but this is what I left with:

It's going to take some serious getting used to.

But I think I like it. I feel sassier. I think.

Sassy people don't question their sassiness, do they?

Secondly, a package came.

From my Craftaholics Anonymous

Christmas Gift Exchange buddy, Amanda.

And, man did I luck out with a great buddy!

I got these two adorable flower headbands.

Special thanks to Amanda! I love these.

Check out her cute shop and buy up some goodies.

And last, but not least...

Winter officially came to Greensboro today.

Isn't it pretty?

We got a good inch or two I think.

A great addition to our weekend full

of fun Christmas traditions and events.

More on that later.

But now it's time to snuggle with my

honey on the couch in front of our tree...

did I mention he likes the new hair?

Tee hee.

Snow Days & Chocolate Pudding

Here's a look out our front door after receiving about 7 inches of snow.

To give you a reference, there are three stair steps down to a walkway under all that white stuff! Definitely enough to consider ourselves "snowed in" for the weekend. And, we had a blast!

If Emma could talk a little more coherently, I would bet she'd tell you that finger painting with chocolate pudding was her favorite part.

And I have to say, it was pretty fun for mom, too. Even if it did finish with a mid-day bubble bath. You really should try this - she just LOVED it!

More to come from our snowy adventures later this week. Hope you all had a warm and snuggy weekend!
