Blizzard 2010 - What I did!

For today, I originally had planned another post but after a little thinking this came to mind. It is a little departure from my regular post but one that I hope you enjoy none the less.  Just a little peak into the life of Ebony.

It's Friday and I'm so happy to report that it is no longer snowing in Northern Virginia where I reside with my family. If you haven't heard we just had the largest blizzard this area has seen in over 150+ years!  We have about 40+ inches in our front yard!  It started out last week and just stopped yesterday.  Most of my friends know that I have absolutely LOVED being snowed in with my family.  It is just what the doctor ordered. Time to pause and stop to reflect on how wonderfully blessed I am and think about what the future hold for us.  We had our niece over with us because her mom had to work and I made a week of activities, including baking cookies, making chocolate covered marshmallows, and Valentine's Day cupcakes.  So I thought I would post a few pictures of our snow and our fun activities this week.  :)

How did you spend your time snowed in?  My girls and I had a great time...AND it looks like we might be getting a little more snow on Monday! WOW!

Let It Snow... Blizzard 2010

I live in Northern Virginia just about 30 minutes outside of Washington D.C. and if you haven't heard we just had one of the largest blizzards of all time this area has ever since over the weekend.  We got nearly 3ft of snow.   Being snowed in and watching how beautiful the snow is got me thinking about winter weddings and how beautiful they are.  I know that June is the most popular wedding month of the year but a wedding can be quite beautiful during the winter months, even those with 2 feet of snow!  :)

For winter wedding we typically see lots of reds and green but again purples, navy's with accents of silver and white also make gorgeous choices.  Here's a little "Winterland" wedding eye candy.
