Snow Day!

Hi Friends ~ Thanks so much for stopping by! We are on our third day of official no-school snow days here in the Seattle area. I think it's the longest stretch we've had since our kids have been school age! We got about ten inches of snow - not exactly the polar vortex of the east, but that is a ton for our area.

Christmas Eve Barn Party...

I hope everyone has been enjoying this Christmas season. We were excited to have a white Christmas here in Seattle! (They are very few and far between... the last time it snowed on Christmas was 9 years ago.)

We hosted family for Christmas Eve dinner and thought it would be fun to have the barn decorated for dessert. So, after dinner, we told everyone to get on their coats and headed to the barn. (It was dark then, but I wanted to show you the snowy barn... though we didn't decorate the outside of it this year. So many possibilities, so little time. ;)

Farmhouse Forest Decor...

I don't mean to rush you. I hope you're savoring every bit of these cozy fall days. But, I know if you're like me, you like to get inspiration for the coming season before it's upon you...

Snow Day! (At the Farmhouse)

I interrupt the regularly-scheduled decorating post to bring you S-N-O-W from Seattle! To any midwesterners out there, thank you for humoring us. While it might only look like a couple of inches to you... To us, it was a winter wonderland!

Holiday Fun for Kids (Christmas Games and Activities)

As an adult, Christmas seems to come so fast each year!

But as a child, it is just. so. hard. to wait.

The snow is softly falling outside, and I'm excited to share some fun ideas for the little ones in your life. Maybe you're hosting a family gathering, a party, or just looking for something to keep your children busy as they count down the days till Christmas...

~ The First Snow & A Farmhouse Christmas Porch ~

We came home today to see the first snow of the season! It was just a light dusting, but enough to get us all outdoors. Here in the Seattle-area, we usually don't get a lot of snow… so when it comes, we try to enjoy it!
