Happy first Friday of 2017! Gosh.. this was a long, short week. Not that it dragged, but the holidays seem a lifetime ago as we settle back into our daily routines. We all needed it though...bedtimes were a little lax... and I know I was was ready to get back into our usual routine. So while it was a fairly quiet week, am I am linking up with Andrea, Narci, and Erika to share some of my favorites. We recapped our start of 2017 this week and you can catch up here.
Well it was a quiet week, until Thursday afternoon. I had planned out this post on Wednesday night....then I came home from work around 12.30pm on Thursday and it was like driving through a Winter Wonderland! I left in the morinng and you could see patches of grass, but by dinnertime we could measure our snow in feet! I have to admit I do love one good snowstorm each year! I grabbed the kids early from school, because I knew the buses would be so late with the weather. So we all hunkered down and enjoyed the snowfall......
Maddie was LOVING life.....
The kids were loving it too!!
I see some skiing and sledding in our future this weekend! Now onto my Friday Favorites!

Reading!! I love to read, but I always put it on the backburner of my daily life. So when I would sit down at the end of the day to read....I was lucky to get through a page before closing my eyes! I had surgery in the fall, and while I was out on leave from my job I picked up reading again. Oh how I missed it! So I am happy to say that I have made reading a part of my daily routine... after dinner.... while I am still awake enough to get through more than one page! E & L love reading too, so I have loved our nights snuggled together reading! This is my current book, and so far, so good!

Love your snow pictures. I can't wait for the weather to warm up a little here so the kids can get back out in it. This morning it's 1 degree, so it's slowly warming up. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of snow, looks so pretty! I was so happy to take our Christmas decorations down too. I like them for a time and then it feels to cluttered for me!
ReplyDeleteLove my Facebook memories! My friend just told me he made sure to take a picture for Facebook every day when he lived in France years ago and now he is getting to enjoy a memory every day that he is back in the states.
