Woo Hoo! Snow Day!

Oh, to be school age again. I would have LOVED to have had weather like this growing up. Kids up here don't realize how lucky they are. We never got out of school for inclement weather. Today was my day though. I got my snow day! Well, my snow half day. It started snowing sometime in the wee hours of the morning and continued to snow until about 4:30 this afternoon. It was pretty significant this time though. Unlike the last one, this snow stuck to the roads, and boy was it a mess! Jonathan and I couldn't help but get out and play in it a bit. And whenever we get the chance, we are investing in a sled!

This is one of my favorite buildings in downtown Lexington!

I'm Back!

OK, so I told everyone in the beginning that I had never really considered myself a "blogger" of sorts, and I guess I was right. You actually have to BLOG to warrant the title! So from now on, I promise to do a much better job of upholding my end of the bargain.

Since my last post, it seems that a lot has taken place. Most recently, we hosted the entire Little clan in Lexington for Thanksgiving weekend! We had entirely too much fun, and I made sure to take a lot of pictures to document the event. I, unfortunately, will have to share those with you at a later date. I made the mistake of downloading them onto Jonathan's computer, and I'm afraid there is no way to pry that computer out of his hands until after finals. Two weeks guys, just two weeks . . .

In the meantime, Christmas has arrived in Lexington!! We set out after a half day of work and school last Tuesday and picked out our Christmas tree from a local vendor.

They had so many beautiful trees to choose from, however, there was something extra special about this little guy. We knew almost immediately that he was the one.



On Saturday afternoon, we had a rather unexpected surprise! SNOW!! I'm sure you can imagine my excitment! The pictures don't really do it justice. It was so pretty, and I can't wait for the next one!



On Friday night, we went to the Lexington Christmas parade. We had so much fun and nearly froze to death! I love living in a small town, and these kinds of events always make me appreciate the town that much more.

Tis the Season!
