Things I Love About Winter - Day 2


Wow...okay. My heart needs to catch up.
Let's just say...today and yesterday were, by far, the strangest in my life.
And long...very long.
But everything's okay!
 Just a minor...catastrophe, I guess you could call it. 
But praise Jesus, all is well.
So...discard my words about hoping to post every day in December!
That was my plan, but the ultimate Plan of God always prevails.
On with my winter post!


I love making paper snowflakes.
I love cutting out the patterns,
then unfolding the paper and seeing all the details in full.
I'm trying to make a big bunch to hang in my older sister's room
 for when she comes home next week!



We started opening the doors on my homemade advent calendar! The first picture was a painting of two red cardinals in the snow. I honestly can't remember half of the pictures I glued on the inside of the calendar, but I'm glad. Everything will be a surprise!


I really love wrapping Christmas presents. All the pretty paper, the bows, the name tags, and the excitement of having everyone guess what I got for them. I love Christmas secrets <3
There's one present I'm particularly excited about giving...but it's not for anyone in my family. And I made it, so that's even more exciting ^_^
I wish I could tell you, but I never know who might be reading my blog!

Lastly, I love freezing rain. Yes, I would rather it be snow, but I love the look of the trees glazed with ice, and the little frozen drips on the branches. I took this picture this morning after the cold, rainy night we had.

My dad and I are going to bring my sister home in less than a week! It's going to be a hard trip, but I'm so excited. It came so fast!

I can't wait to get our tree, decorate it, light it, and have those nights when we all sit in the living room with the tree as the only light in the room. So cozy.
It will only feel truly Christmas-y when my sister is home <3
