No, this is not that post at all. Because old man winter completely took over my weekend. That's right. That snow that damaged the Metrodome also damaged my 5th Annual Christmas Party plans. So while I did spend my 4th weekend in a row traveling (Houston, Dallas, St. Louis, Nashville, Houston). The day felt long, cold, and slightly depressing. So, by Sunday I was in need of a "little Christmas". So that's what I did. I started by putting on the Christmas tunes, lit some Christmas inspired candles, and began baking.
(okay, i didn't say baking from scratch. But I mixed, put them in the oven, and even added Hershey kisses. So that is baking, right?)
(and my outfit def. made it official.)
This is a peek at the McQuinn's holiday residence. Due to our "situation" (house being for sale) and the fact that I have yet to be home for a weekend and Matt works all the time, we opted not to decorate as we usually do. I have a feeling Matt was relieved by this. He had a lot less to bring down for the attic.
As devastated as I felt about not making it to Minnesota it was a great reminder about friendship. It would have been ideal to have been present, but I was reminded about how blessed I am to have friends that can make me feel so loved from 1000 miles away. And no snowstorm can take that away.
I've got one.
