We got our first official snow here over the weekend! I was snowed in on Saturday and loved every minute of it! Little Millie, of course, hopped and frolicked all over the place- she was so excited that the 'white stuff' was back!

This one is my favorite, I love the look on her face. She was shivering at this point!

Even after we came inside she wanted to get up in the window and look out at the snow falling...

As promised, I snapped some pictures of my Christmas decorations over the weekend. It turned out to be the perfect time to  take photos of the outside decorations, as well!

I decided to go with nontraditional colors outside this year. My girly gene was on overdrive. I found the pink sparkly bows and garland that I wrapped around my topiary at Target. The little pink scarves on my snowmen are from the Dollar Tree.

I'm so happy with how the decorations turned out this year. I wanted a simpler look and left a lot of my things from last year in storage. I think my favorite pieces are the apothecary jars and leaf bowl filled with Christmas balls and the pretty dining table. I found the beaded trees and table runner at TJ Maxx.

In more holiday related news, my mom and I went to a cookie exchange last night at one of the teacher's house that I work with. Coming home with 11 dozen sweet treats? Don't mind if I do!

Cookies, cookies everywhere!!

Happy Monday, everyone!

(PS- I'm posting later today because we're on a snow delay! What a great start to the week!)
