we are walking in a winter wonderland here in new york.
why in the world was this the first time this graced my lips?
i love sitting for hours just talking with my girlfriends. tis therapy.
this was the temperature driving home the other night.
it’s nothing compared to high of 3 degrees that’s on it’s way.
our icicle lights have turned into true icicle daggers. yes, we still have our christmas lights up. i have a funny feeling we won’t be able to get them down now. i asked caleb why we wouldn’t just keep them up all year long. he told me that people sing about that being trashy in country songs. what? ask me if their still up in july. or don’t.
i also asked why we were the only house with these massive icicles. he told me that we were the only house without gutters. uh, adding that to the spring project list.
watching daddy shovel the never ending snow before heading to bed.
ready to go!
and would you look at those rosy cheeks?

my parents both grew up in New York(Long Island) and I have no idea how they have children like myself who cannot handle such cold temps! i am cold if it's 71 degrees, LOL. i don't know how you do it! but those icicles are enchanting.

Oh my GOSH, SEVEN DEGREES? I would die/freeze to death. But mostly I would just freak out because holy crap that's ridiculously cold. I was upset yesterday that it was 21 degrees – TWENTY ONE DEGREES! But seriously…this is Texas…I'm not made to handle this, haha.

I just recently tried Starbucks salted caramel hot choc. too. I loved it, until I got to the end and there was a LOT of salt.
I vote leave the Christmas lights up. Your husbands comment about country songs makes me laugh.

Brrrrr! Living in So Cal we don't see those kinds of temps…though growing up in Canada I remember them a little too well.
Starbucks takes the sting out of anything though! 😉
p.s. thanks for stopping by the blog!

It is sunny and 60's here today but I still want one of those Starbucks hot chocolates. 🙂
And I'm totally a proponent of leaving white Christmas lights up all year. They make me so happy!
