The snow just keeps falling here in Minnesota and producing whiteout conditions... at least it isn’t -60° anymore...

Often when I enter the woods, you would think that Peter Pan was awaiting my curious stroll. Sprinkling me with pixie dust upon my arrival, my feet and my heart are uplifted. I appreciate everything with a curious wonder, never growing old.

It was clear from the boot prints all around, that the structure was fairly new to the woods. I searched with hopeful eyes for its creators, hoping they would be like-minded individuals, who even as adults enjoy building stick forts in the woods. But there was no one to be found, no sound to be heard other than the creaking of the trees.
I crawled through the narrow opening on hands and knees, immediately feeling as blissfully joyful as a child. It was the simplest happiness that any stranger had unknowingly provided for me, and hopefully anyone else who stumbled upon this whimsical place and I was grateful.
I sat for a long while, covered by the limbs and quite frankly I'm surprised I didn't melt all the snow around because I radiated so much happiness! It was truly a moment in life of pure magic and I am thankful for the mystery creators that gave me this happiness!

It’s #NationalMinnesotaDay and what better way to show off some love for this amazing state with our MN flannel? Especially since flannel is basically the official Minnesota uniform, lets be real. #MNlove

"The boys sure adore Aunty Nini. Thankful for the holidays bringing family together. This year Nini brought Dan-0 and his parents, which was nice to get to know everyone more. . This year was also filled with lots of new family. Met my Dad's birth family. Nikki is getting a new family. Only a little over a month till she's married!!! . .
Feeling grateful for all the wonderful people in our lives."

We brought the girls ice skating this past weekend. Violet stayed in her boots but had a lot of fun on the ice. She found a giant puddle to play in.

Happy happy new year everyone!! It’s official the second week of 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣!! 🎉⠀
Last year around this time we were gearing up to celebrate this couples love and it is probably one of our favorite winter weddings to date! Anyone else love weddings that have snow? ❄️ I feel like snow can get a bad rap, but it is so pretty. And when you live in a state that has snow nearly half the year, you begin to embrace the beauty of it. So don’t mind me as I sit here and secretly pray for a snow storm to come rolling in over the next few days so that we can snap some pics in it! ⛄️ 📷 ⠀

I assume we have lost a substantial amount of the snow in this picture.

We had so much fun picking out a tree yesterday! I can't lie.. John did most of the picking while us girls goofed around and took photos 🌲

This is what a sunrise looks like at -29 Fahrenheit. Worth getting up for!

This is a snow pile at the end of our driveway. I assure you, our yard is normally flat. Built in hills! 🤷🏼♀️
