This morning we woke to a light dusting of snow. I'm not sad to see the brown grass covered in a beautiful blanket of white. The spruce trees also look amazing when the snow comes.
After our morning study, I turned on the kettle and made a batch of pancakes. When breakfast was finished, I found myself standing beside the piano holding a warm cup of apple cider in one hand and pointing at music notes with my other hand. Getting up early to study together before Camilla goes to seminary each day means we have plenty of free time before the bus comes to pick up the rest of the children for school.
It continued to snow for most of the day. I turned on "That's Christmas to Me" by Pentatonix and went to work baking in the kitchen. I needed to have a couple dozen cookies to share for the refreshment table at the Nativity this week.
Sawyer and Lily spent most of the afternoon engulfed in imaginary play while I folded laundry and did a quick tidy of the main floor.
I also managed a double batch of bagels this afternoon and the house smelled amazing. I did a dozen cinnamon bagels and a dozen everything bagels. These are always a hit for breakfast and they don't cost nearly as much as the ones from the store!
As I stepped out in the late afternoon to run errands and pick up some of the children, I was blessed by a beautiful view of the sun starting to set. It was such a beautiful day!
