A frosty birthday eve.

I spent last night with the kiddos I nanny. They were still fast asleep when I got up this morning, so I snuck outside to steal a few photos of the sunrise - winter has some of the most beautiful! Everything glittered and there was chilly bite to the air.
Although it's not technically winter yet, it most definitely felt like it when I stepped outside barefoot! I am considering it to now be the official start to Christmastime! I usually try to hold off on the Christmas music until Thanksgiving Day, but this year I just couldn't help myself. :)

A White Wonderland

Winter has been with us for (nearly) 48 hours now. As much as I dislike the cold, and often crave the summer sun, I love when Wisconsin turns into a white winter wonderland! With only a few days to spare, the snow came just in time for us to have a white Christmas! These photos were taken on two different snow days. One blue-skyed day, and one overcast.
