A Christmas to Rememberrrr!!

                                   Friday evening an hour and a half after the first snow fell

Yowzaa! We are out in the East Coast spending our holiday season with Mr. Fliz's family and an unexpected visitor came to join us. We had a snow storm come in on Friday evening--just a day after we had arrived. It was the big news on Thursday night. At first they expected 6-10 inches of snow, then 10-15 inches (yikes!), and then it got up to two feet of snow expected to fall between Friday evening (the 18th) to Sunday morning. We got close to that--almost 20 inches!

It was Micro's first snowfall. To say the least, he was surprised and a bit intrigued. However, he was not a fan of the cold and snow. I'm sure this will take a bit getting used to. The snow was beautiful and memorable. We certainly enjoyed putting on our layers, snow boots, and thick jackets. Yes,we were unprepared for this snow and last minute tried to get him some proper attire, but most stores were cleaned out. Thankfully, his cousin let him borrow some of her snow gear. And yeah, so what of the pink boots-he looks good and matches :)

Mr. Fliz and I even managed to make it into D.C. during the storm (are we crazy?--you bet!) to do an overnight and enjoy an evening of "Chocolate Decadence" at the Ritz (for more info-click here) despite warnings of several road closures and metro stops (yes, we took the Metro and hoofed the rest of the short way).

Though temperatures were below freezing, that didn't stop us from getting outside and doing what we had to do for family Christmas parties and such. The snow will be sticking around for Christmas, where they expect a "wintery mix" to happen. Oh joy. Let's see what happens.
