congrats jeremy, please email me your info! :)

yes, we survived the snowpocalypse of 09!

and by snowpocalypse, i mean blizzard but people actually loose their minds in these parts when the weather man calls for three inches of snow. So you can imagine the wide panic that set into the dmv when the forcast called for 18+ inches! When I say no bread or milk was left anywhere I mean it, omg it was insane! In my area we got way over two feet of fluffy snow that is slowly turning into ice/snowbergs.
This is how we spent our extended weekend:

playing in the snow and shoveling said snow. We couldn't get enough of making snow angels, swoon...

baked these, yum!

made some globes

so happy yo... it's friday

day 11: some j.crew love for the day, totally love getting their catalogs in the mail. It is packed full of inspiration and photos and amazing clothes. I added some stitching to this spread, which I am trying to add more of in this mini. I also need to add more pages to the frame because I am soon to run out of pages to scrap on, lol.

I cannot believe it is 7 days until christmas, it seems like just yesterday it was dec 1!

We are about to get a major snow storm, so we are going to be stuck trapped inside! Since we are going to be inside we are  going to make some homemade cookies, look at movies and, stay in our pjs and play in the snow! :) This recipe is a crowd favorite: peanut butter kiss cookies. It is super easy and you mostly have all of the ingredients other than the kisses in your pantry! It is a great recipe for kids to help with too,because their isn't a lot of ingredients. I love baking during the holidays, it is a tradition that we do every Christmas. I can still remember helping my mom bake cakes to take to South Carolina for our family for the holidays. We would bake at least four cakes from scratch, the house would smell so good! :)

so, so, so happy it is friday!! :)
Have a happy and safe weekend!
