Today we road tripped to pick up Peyton and do a little Christmas shopping. We got up really early to be home before the storm. We just made it.

When we got back we quickly finished chores and snuggled in for the evening. When we were doing chores a tear streamed to the crook of my nose and froze. I'm pretty sure I have a perfectly circular spot of frost bite there. As soon as I could I ran for cover at Ilona's house and watched Shirley and Ilona make spritz cookies. I also took it upon myself to be the official taster. They were all terrific and received my seal of approval.

Kent shelled all the pecans from Uncle Van and Aunt San that we got at Thanksgiving. We have a ton and I think I might even try my hand at candied pecans for Christmas dinner this year.

So far the storm hasn't been too bad. Cold weather and blowing winds. The snow is really supposed to kick up starting around midnight. According to my computer temperature gauge it is negative 8 degrees right now without the windchill! YIKES!
