Play in the Snow: Advent Calendar Day 23

Celebrating the Everyday  //  

The past few days have definitely felt a lot like winter.  Mother nature apparently realized that it’s not really supposed to be 60 degrees and sunny everyday in December.  Well, at least not for those of us in the Northeast and Midatlantic. Although we don’t really like the cold all that much, we LOVE LOVE LOVE the snow!  I have probably been signing “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” for the past week now.  Fortunately you don’t have to be subjected to my extremely off pitch tone.  I definitely won’t be signing up for The Voice anytime soon! :)

As we were wrapping up all our Christmas gifts, we took a glance at the weather and to our pleasant surprise, the weatherman was forecasting 1-3 inches of snow on Christmas Eve!!!!  We might finally get a white Christmas after all!!  Once the first snowflakes begin to fall you can guarantee that Liz and I will be the first ones outside making a snowman!  So for Day 23 of our AMAZING Life Holiday Advent Calendar (and for the rest of winter) go play in the snow! Playing in the snow brings out the child in us.  Whether I am picking up Liz and running outside while she doesn’t have shoes on like I did in this picture from high school, or if we are sled riding, making snow angels, or snowmen, playing in the snow just makes us laugh and giggle with joy.  And that is definitely what life is all about.  Laugh out loud, roll around in the snow, and have fun.   And for all of you that are lucky enough to have a white Christmas, be sure to take a picture and share it on Facebook or Instagram with us!  We’d love to see your smiling faces!

Have a Very Merry White Christmas! :)

Side note, I really wanted this post to be about sending a snowball to someone that doesn’t get snow.  Unfortunately we haven’t had any snow as of yet to make a snowball, and although I think my plan of buying 5 lbs of dry ice and a giant Styrofoam cooler are flawless, I let Liz talk me out of it this time.  Although if you live in Florida, don’t be surprised if a giant snowball shows up in the mail this February! :)
