Well, as you probably know, this past weekend, the midwest got a GORGEOUS snowfall. I mean, it was STUNNING. Just like a snow globe. And if I could have stayed home all weekend and just looked at its beauty, I might have enjoyed it a bit more.
But we had a great time in the snow, too!! Wanna peek in?
Friday night, after dinner, we headed to Starbucks for raspberry white chocolate mochas, and we decided to hang out there for a while to work on our Christmas shopping plan of attack. Now and then, we enjoy staying there to drink our coffee instead of coming home.
While we were there, it started to snow, so Ryan asked if I wanted to go through the Walkway of Lights in the park. Well, sure!! I thought it would be fun to go through in the snow, so off we went!
My hope is to still WALK this someday but not that night. It was a driving sort of night.
I am such a toddler with Christmas lights - clapping and bright-eyed and all giddy. They're just so PRETTY!!
And I LOVE the life size nativity at the end.
It snowed and snowed all night - and the next day we awakened to a gorgeous, picturesque scene!! We did a photo shoot at home {more on that tomorrow} and then braved the elements to go Christmas shopping!
Well, after we got some breakfast. We had a little breakfast date at Steak n Shake!
The path to shopping was laden with slick roads...and we passed this accident on our way:
We made good time checking items off our list and enjoying a day together - including a stop for a Polar Pop {one of our favorite treats} and random window shopping for furniture:
We were POOPED by the end of the day - but it was so fun. We enjoyed our date!!

we just visited those lights the other night...very impressive!!
Oh I miss the lights. Going through them was one of my favorite 'tween Thanksgiving and Christmas activities. However, shopping on snow slicked roads, not so much! It was in the high 70's over the weekend an d 85 yesterday for the annual office party! Enjoy your snow....Lois
Sarah - Oh yay!! Glad you got to visit them!!
Lois - I thought of you as we drove through - knew you would love to see them! But enjoy the warmth for us...sigh. :)
I'm so excited to go to our city's light display. We will end up walking it because it is so short and we're probably going on Christmas Day with our best friends. Yay!
