There are fluffy snowflakes swirling around outside of my window this morning, battling through the bursts of sunshine for dominance. The timing is perfect: my family visits this weekend for an early Thanksgiving celebration, officially launching us into the holidays. The next five days will be filled with love and food and laughter. Amid the preparation hubbub and list-making, I’m focusing on how blessed we are. ‘Tis the season…

You look a lot like your beautiful grandmother! Isn’t this weather ridiculous? It’s minus 6 here 😦
It was 1 degree this morning but I’m thinking that was a fluke. Hoping the snow kicks in though. It’s TIME! I’ll be singing a different tune in March, but I’m ready!
Beautiful Captures – Happy Bliss Day 🙂
