Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

So we got a whole 7 inches of snow here. I kind of felt like I was back in Montana and I didn't like it one bit.

Saturday morning we woke up to snow and it just seemed to keep on falling all day long. I didn't mind it so much because we stayed home all day, so it was kind of nice to look at it out the window when i didn't have to go outside. I was inside baking literally all day long for our big Christmas party on Saturday night. We had all the members of our church worship team over for a dessert party, and I was surprised by how many people came over despite the "treacherous" road conditions.

As much as I hate snow, I think it will be a lot of fun once we have kids. Sunday afternoon we went to Dale & Missy's to make snowmen and play in the snow with Hannah and Ava. Ava's still a little too young and wasn't quite sure of what she thought of the snow.....or maybe she was more sure of what she thought, beings that she cried every time we put her down and she fell over (she knows how to stand up but hasn't quite got the walking part down yet). We made an attempt at building a snowman but the snow wasn't sticky enough so it became our snow snake instead. You gotta play with the card's you've been dealt, right?


So that was our weekend. Pretty boring actually. It was kind of nice to spend a weekend actually at home thought rather than out and about....even if it was home entertaining a bunch of people. This next weekend will be another story though. I have a love/hate relationship with the weekend before Christmas. Hopefully this year there will be more loving though since we have most of our Christmas shopping done and don't need to grace the mall with our presence. Instead we just get to hang out with lots of friends, which is what I love! Hopefully Steve won't be a hater by the end of the weekend. He get's peopled out pretty quick.

gotta love some foam....

Every monday I have a "girls night out" with 3 of my good girlfriends. We just like to get together and talk about life and what we're learning and we always have a good time. Anyway....so last night we went to Kaldi's Coffee. I've been there quite a few times before, but I think it had been a good year or so. I really like the new store they've opened in Kirkwood.
To get on with the story though, I had some of the best foam on a latte that I've had in a LONG time! Yes....I'm a coffee snob, because of that it's hard to impress me. I'm not trying to be a walking advertisement for Kaldi's or anything, because honestly as many times I've been there it's always been just "ok" not like the "wow this is great!" experience I had last night.

Because I was so impressed by the foam on this latte that I just had to write about it as I drink my own little cup of coffee this morning and think of the great latte I had last night. I wish I could have had a camera to take a picture of the beautiful foam on this latte. I almost even questioned whether it had been made with whole milk rather than the skim milk I asked for because it really looked like whole milk foam (skim milk foam is more airy and not so creamy) If you've ever made latte you know it's really hard to make skim milk foam look like whole milk foam.

Anyway....so yes, I've just confirmed that I'm a total coffee nerd, but that's okay, I have no shame. Hopefully someone out there is as equally excited at the thought of this coffee masterpiece as I was.
