White Christmas

We haven't had a white Christmas in St. Louis since 2005, so it was a pretty and special sight to see all of this snow on Christmas morning this year.

Christmas cookies


I'm started to think about what kinds of cookies to bake this year for Christmas. Now I am not much of a baker, but my friend Kati and I started the tradition last year of a Christmas cookie baking day. It was a lot of fun last year, and we had lots of cookies to hand out to family and friends. So the tradition will continue this year!
One cookies I know I will be baking? The traditional sugar cookie. I would love if my sugar cookies could be as pretty as these!

Tis the season


The holidays are officially here!
Plans so far:
-Begin putting Christmas decorations up tomorrow
-Pulling out the Christmas DVDs and music
-Going to see St. Louis Ballet's production of The Nutcracker mid December
-Cookie baking day with my friend Kati close to Christmas

And I'm actually not minding the sudden drop in temperature this week. I'm happy to pull out the winter coats, scarves, and gloves. It's a welcome change.

Sunday Reflection

October is now here! My favorite month. :-)
This past week was a good one. My week was mostly filled with work, but the days were not too stressful, and my weekend was lovely.
Friday and Saturday evenings were family nights, spent with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, and I am so thankful for that time we share together. We enjoyed each other's company as well as good food and drinks. Today I had an ACT tutoring session and enjoyed a nice Sunday dinner with my mom, stepdad, and stepbrother. And I got to sleep in both Saturday and Sunday, so I feel well rested for the work week ahead!
