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. :)

Here's a photo I snapped (with my phone) from my upstairs window on 11/09/11.
For the first time (that I can remember in my 20 years) there was a huge snow storm that went through on my birthday. It was the first time I'd ever made a snowman that early in November. However, due to the extremely warm temperatures in the days to follow, it did not last long.

With Thanksgiving being only a few days away I'm getting quite excited for the holidays!
