We’ll Have a White Christmas

Before I go any further Emily received notice on Saturday that she was accepted into her #2 pick, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams, MA. It’s in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains. We’re still waiting to hear from #3 Hofstra and #1 Champlain. Hofstra really doesn’t matter at this point because it’s #3.

Sunday morning we awoke to a winter wonderland. All told, we got close to a foot of snow. The Cape took the brunt of the storm with many locations nearing two feet. Fresh fallen snow always makes for some beautiful photos.

Even though the snow was fairly light it was still enough to warrant breaking out the John Deere.

Derek needed to get back to school because he had one more final on Monday. This particular one was a jury. He had to perform preselected pieces by a panel of judges. It’s a common practice throughout his music education.

Even Abbey seemed to enjoy being out in the snow. She’s over 13.5 so just getting up every day is an accomplishment for her.

A snow storm is the perfect time to make Christmas cookies. Maybe even Martha Stewart would approve of these.
