So today we had the pleasure to drive up and down the mountain twice due to an am and an pm Doctor Appointment.
It also started snowing this morning so we knew we would be in for some possibly interesting driving conditions. As it happens we saw quiet a bit of snow but very powdery so no real impact on driving through it at all. Unfortunately other drivers were not the same opinion and drove much slower then I thought was necessary ;) ... however today I took a deep breath and just went with the flow and focused on how grateful I am to have a most wonderful car with four wheel drive and the perfect winter tires to go with it :) plus it was very picturest to listen to Christmas Songs and watching the snow fall around us.
I truly love Colorado in the summer the most but the charm this State can deliver during the Christmas Season is hard to beat. I at times feel we are living in a Postcard setting with the snowy mountains around us and the house being surrounded by Pine Tree's plus of course the Fireplace burning. The boys were out playing in the snow this afternoon followed by Hot Chocolate with marshmallows and my Mom was baking two new Christmas Cookies. Can you just imagine the wonderful feeling of coming in from outside smelling fresh baked cookies and the picking up a book and sit by the Fireplace to rest a bit?
We truly are lucky and there are many times I have to remind myself of all this when worries take over....
Hope this last week before Christmas is a calm one for you! We have two more days of school ahead including the Class Party along with two Christmas Plays.
We have been taking some downtime watching Christmas Movies and the boys are in love with the 'Home Alone' series. Even my mom laughs out loud watching them :) .. and NO! I am not catering to the boys wish to leave them Home Alone for a while ... - haha
Hugs,
