We awoke this morning to a dusting of snow on the ground...and the snow continued for most of the day. Although it made for a pretty nasty commute, it gave me an excuse to head home a couple hours early to avoid the evening traffic. I spent the afternoon sewing a Christmas tree skirt, baking a batch of yummy molasses spice cookies and decided to snap a few pictures to capture the beautiful winter weather combined with our Christmas lights.

At this point we had about 2.5" of snow. Around 8:30 tonight it was closer to 4"...not quite enough to have work cancelled though.

It definitely looks like Christmas inside of the house! The stockings have been hung and the tree decorated with an assortment of Christmas ornaments we have both collected over the years. I have to admit, my favorites are Geoffrey's Hallmark airplane ornaments. At one point, a plane was on the top of the tree, and today he showed me that 2 others were performing aerobatics!

Yes, there are 2 little dog shaped dishes at either end of the fireplace, with the words "Santa Paws" written on them. Its the doggie version of a stocking. Speaking of dogs, its time for the pugs to get in their crate and the mom to get some rest.
Hope everyone is having a great Christmas season!

SNOW?!?! Oh, I'm so super jealous. It's been like 80 degrees down in Atlanta. Not that I'm there now, but still. I want to live somewhere where it snows!
Having fun here in San Fran! Nothing like getting all the geoscientists together in the city known for earthquakes! :)
Happy holidays you two!
