i'm dreaming of a white christmas...

this winter, i wasn't looking forward to snow, because snow = ice on roads, which terrifies me, mostly because my mom and i ran off the road... in the mountains... because of ice. i love the snow, but always get a little nervous when it starts falling. well, this winter, it has snowed a couple of times that i have noticed, but it hasn't yet stayed on the ground. i can still see the grass and the roads. it makes me sad. isn't the town supposed to be covered in snow by now? i hope, by some miracle, it snows for a long time on christmas eve, and i wake up to snow-covered everything! i am missing my utah snow.

the view of our street from our stairs. 

oh yeah, remember when i mentioned our wreath on our front door? well, here it is. she's a beauty. this year i'm really into red and green plaid for christmas. i think it's splendid.
