surprise snow

this weekend was tame, but at the same time, warm and full and lovely.

recovering from the flu.

watched polar express.

made peanut butter chocolate fudge. (who knew its so easy to make? and so dangerous to keep in your fridge!)

saturday brunch followed by christmas shopping.

coffee with a dear friend.

much needed girl time.

listened to christmas carols, drank tea, and made paper cranes to hang from the tree.

(i've been feeling surprisingly festive this year.)

and speaking of surprises, i woke up to our first snow of the year today.

so pretty.

and speaking of pretty, how amazing is this snowflake? really, i have no words.
