It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

Well it is finally snowing again! It's only been a month.... :) I was worried that we wouldn't get any snow before Christmas but here we go. We've got some melty stuff going on right now (lots of snow flakes, but not so much sticking). We are getting another big storm this weekend though. :) Just in time for Dave and I to hang out at home and relax.

The weekend was a good one. We went to the baptism and blessing (I was all emotional). It was good to sit down and talk with family and just relax. Sunday was a pretty lazy day as well. I am trying to get the last of my Christmas presents ready. I have been seriously slacking on the Christmas cards. YIKES! I hope I can get my act together.

Pookie in a sweater

So Pookie is a pretty small dog. And she's really thin so when it gets cold out she really starts shivering. After Wednesday's wonderful snowy day, I decided it was time to get Pookie a sweater. Last year I bought her a coat/cape thingy and she ate it. So this year I am getting her a pull on sweater and I'm not going to let her chew on it.

I love it. It makes me giggle every time I see Pookie bundled up in that thing. I think she likes it though because she doesn't fight me when I put it on her and she's fine to just run around the house in it.

Does it look like November out there?

This is the weather we've had all day....

It was kind of hard to take a picture of the snowflakes falling (white flakes + white/grey clouds = invisible to the camera). But it is coming down pretty good. At lunch a group of us in the office walked five minutes to a restaurant just a block away and we were all covered in snow. It feels more like Christmas than it does the beginning of November. I am not complaining though- I am enjoying it (mainly because I am inside and warm). The only thing that could make this better would be to wrapped up in a blanket at home, watching the snow fall with some soft music in the background, and maybe a cup of hot chocolate. :) But then again, I think that last scenario makes any day better...

SNOW!

Well, it snowed this weekend. I didn't think it would actually stick, but it did. Sunday morning Dave and I opened our eyes to see 3 inches of snow on our balcony and more falling. It was a pleasant surprise (especially because we were snuggled in our warm bed).

Pookie isn't ready for the snow yet- we have to get a her a sweater or something. When it drops below 40 we literally have to drag her outside the condo for a walk.

The weekend was good otherwise. I worked at Michael's Saturday morning- the Christmas stuff is starting to come in. Maybe I'll get my act together and come up with some cute house decorations. By the way- I went to my friend April's house and she is on top of things with the decorations. I am so jealous! I would buy the stuff she makes (hint hint). Anyway, there is a link to her blog (the wilde ones) if you want to check out what she made.

Saturday evening Dave and I went over to our friend Nate and Kayleen's house and played some Scene It (I totally won). It was so much fun! :) And then it started snowing- made Dave and I glad about our decision to buy a car with AWD. :)

Oh yeah, and yesterday was April's birthday. :) Happy Birthday April!

Today it's back to work- it's going to be a long/short week for me. I am working at Michael's every evening this week (until Thursday). Which is nice, but will make for a really long day (I don't get out of Michael's until 9.30 PM). Friday, Dave and I will head West to Oregon for the weekend. I am looking forward to seeing everyone. :) And I am looking forward to seeing the Ocean!
