We recently had the first snow of the season here in NYC and it was beautiful! I know snow is always a bear for the commuters, but I very selfishly hope that this winter will consist of A LOT of snow since it makes the city more beautiful. And I just got my first pair of REAL snow boots in about 20 years, which I am very excited about :)
Here are some pics of the snow covered city!
Dan and I had a ton of fun trudging through the slippery streets and we got a real workout after walking around for a couple of hours. Finally, we stopped to grab a beer at MexiBBQ, which has amazing beer!
Something I've been noticing lately is just how many kids there are in the city. I usually only see them when they're headed to or coming from school, and they are especially adorable this time of year in their big puffy coats, little mitten hands sticking out of their sleeves that don't quite rest on their sides (because of the puffy coats), and little boots trudging along the street. I snapped a pic of a big group of kiddos crossing the street on their way home from school this week while I was grabbing some pizza. They're so adorable!
A couple of them came racing in to the pizza shop with their parents; I guess a usual stop on the way home. Which is a smart move because the pizza was delicious, by the way.
Here's another gem I found on the way home from getting pizza. A church down the street owns some coveted outdoor real estate for a family of snowpeople, and the kids went all out! Looks like a grown up, a kid, and a toddler. They used anything they could find to make their faces, like yogurt cups, carrots, leaves, acorns, sticks, and grass. Super cute! And if you look closely, you can see a little girl in a pink coat in the background (right side), who I think must have been one of the sculptors.
I am sorry this post is so short, but I've been crazy busy this week preparing for our trip to Alabama and making Ugly Christmas sweaters for Dan and myself (pics will be posted!). I have to go finish packing for our trip and then have Christmas Eve with my loving husband who is begging to open his presents :) I pray that the hope of Christmas is in all of your hearts. Love you all, readers! And Merry Christmas!!!
Love,
Carole
