King Winter must have heard our pleas and finally came to visit us. We were told to expect a big storm but the snowflakes fell slow and small Saturday evening. The winds and cold temperatures followed on Sunday. In the end we only had a little over 5" of snow. We are happy either way. All we wanted was at least a little snow to build snowmen, ride our toboggan, make lemon ices (see the Lemon Sisters book below) and have snowball fights.
Our weekend inspired me to make our winter book basket and share it with all of you. I can't even tell you how happy we have been unboxes our beloved books. It was like Christmas all over again.
I feel like we have more winter favorites but more than likely they are still in one of our (many) unopened boxes. I will update when we find more. In the meantime this is what we currently have in our winter book basket. Each image is a direct link to the book. I just like the way it looks and thought it would be easier on all of you, too!
