Worst/best snow storm in who knows how long! and Christmas cookies!


View out our front door Saturday morning while it was still snowing.

This weekend, starting Friday night, we were hit with a massive snow storm here in Maryland. By the time the snow stopped Saturday night (yes is literally snowed for at least 24 hours if not longer), we were left with between 16 and 20 inches of snow. Charlie and I headed over to our friends' house because they have a great sledding hill. Once the fluffy top layer was plowed and packed down by James tugging Charlie down the hill on the sled, we had a great time. It was my first time sledding ever (born and raised in Southern California) so the first time was a little nerve-wracking but once you get the hang of it, you don't really want to stop. I can't wait for James to get the rope-pull working right so we don't have to walk back up the hill anymore. :)Pictures of sledding to come soon!


This is the view out our front door at night with the Christmas lights on. You can see how deep the snow is by how high up the little trees it goes.

In other news, I stayed up most of Friday night making cheeseburger cookies for Christmas presents.


You start by using egg white to stick sesame seeds to the top buns (a.k.a. Nilla wafers).


Next, you use cheese (a.k.a. almond flavored, orange dyed frosting) to attach the patties (a.k.a. grasshopper cookies) to the bottom buns.


Spread more cheese on top of the patties and dip into the lettuce (a.k.a. green dyed coconut).


Finally, spread more cheese on the bottoms of the top buns and place on top of the lettuce. You now have cheeseburger cookies! Aren't they adorable! And so veggie friendly for the non-meaties.
