I am not a winter person. I like to look at it from the inside and sometimes even like to go for a walk when it is sunny. I can admit that it can be beautiful and turn everyhting into a white wonderland. But nothing can beat the feeling of naked feet in shoes and summer dresses. Well, we are making the best of it: we organized lamb fur for our stools, had some friends over for an enormous brunch and they even conviced me to go outside into the cold WHERE IT WAS DEFINITELY TOO COLD FOR ME! But I loved to see the children running and enjoying the sleigh ride with daddy and our friends. And the best of it: to come back into the warmth, sit by the fire and devoure the leftovers and start cutting the cakes. Sigh.
But, yes, I hope the snowy season stays on for a while because it makes the children so extremely happy. They missed snow back in Mexico and Jakob has been singing "snowy" season songs all the time, wanting the snow to come so badly. His songs were heard and now he is jumping with joy every morning when he gets up and looks out of the window.

And I succeeded day three of my crafty challenge. The first day we wrote Thank-you-cards we had made before, the second day was full of crocheting and today was a day of cookingand baking and crocheting as well. So for tommorrow there is decorating and sewing on the list. I cannot wait to sit in front of the sewing machine after having packed away some of the Christmas stuff from last year.
Wishing you a warm and cozy place by the fire, with some tea and treats, a book or something to craft with and a nice person (or several) joining you!.
