(Skating CHRISTMAS DAY! 2011) |
You can’t have those sweet rosy noses and cheeks with out it.
Or wear thick sweaters and knit scarves each day without it.
Mittens and toques with pompoms are a must have and a must enjoy.
(At the neighbourhood rink with my oldest boy!) |
Trips to the outdoor rink, to the toboggan hill, snow forts and snow angels and the amazing way the house feels when you freshly return from winter adventures.
(Our home, a couple winters ago. We don’t have this much snow yet this year.) |
Ones house never feels so inviting in the warm months of the year!
How perfect a big hot mug of tea or hot chocolate feel whether going warmly down your throat or just being held in your chilled hands!
Such glorious domesticity blooms in ones heart as you unpack your snow covered children, rediscovering them from underneath loads of winter clothes and you place a warm cup of love in their sweet little hands. Just standing over the pot of home made hot coco is enough to make me feel like a great mom.
(A day gone by, at the community toboggan hill will the whole crew.) |
Yes winter takes a lot of work and requires effort and yet this is why the little moments feel so very good this time of year.
(My eldest son, on the way home from a winter adventure.) |
Hurrah for winter!
