More Shoveling

Ugh, I was about to publish this post as the celebratory last snow of this winter, but it turns out there's another blizzard headed our way.  Snow is supposed to be coming in on full force from Friday morning to Saturday afternoon.  Is there no end to this?!

Anyways, here are some pictures from the last snow (yesterday).

More photos after the jump!

Home for the Holidays

One of my favorite part of the holidays was decorating our house with Christmas lights. Our neighbors have complimented us on our decorations several times! So exciting!!

After brief stint in LA for Xmas, it was nice to come home to our little bungalow. While I was out there, I got to see Chi Young and Elliot and their GORGEOUS new home (also a bungalow) of which I will not post pictures here because it puts our house to shame. But, it gave us a lot of inspiration for what our little bungalow can become one day!  It was wonderful to see my family (who I hope will all come to visit the new house soon)!

Let it Snow!

One of the joys of homeownership that we were in no way prepared for was shoveling snow. The DC area got a massive amount of snow during the blizzard of 2009. And, of course, we had no snow shovel. Shout out to Ginny and Randy, Gil, and Jeff and Becky, our generous and kind neighbors who lent us their shovels at various points throughout the 3-day-long snow shoveling marathon!

After shoveling out two cars and our sidewalk, my arms were about to fall off. So we jumped in the snow to celebrate. Here's Masai after jumping from our porch, face first into the snow. Yikes! It was actually really fun...and cold. Here's hoping there is no more shoveling until next year =)

Thanksgiving

We were so excited to have our first Thanksgiving in our new place and even more excited that our moms (Chantal and Diane, wearing matching jackets) came to cook for us! Here are some photos of the finished kitchen and the delicious dinner!
