{ Please note– This post was intended to go up on my birthday, which was two months ago. And since the weather has been spectacular and yesterday was 50 degrees, I thought it would be a perfect time to share pictures of a snow-covered New England. Also, more snow’s coming…}
On the 29th of December, I went to bed with 12 inches of snow covering the ground, with more coming down from the heavens. I woke up the next morning, and jumped right out of bed. I slipped on my jeans, my coat, and my bean boots and grabbed my camera. I ran out into the winter wonderland with my loyal (and energetic), snow-loving body guard.
I walked around the tree line and took in the beauty. God had gifted us with such a beautiful morning. Especially because it was my birthday!
I had a white christmas, which included sledding with my sisters on our long, winding hill up the back path. And now I can say I had a white birthday too. I’m a photographer who loves winter, so what better way to spend my 14th birthday than taking pictures and sledding again with my sisters?
And of course, I have pictures to show off from that morning.
I’m so thankful I got to spend my birthday with the ones I love, doing the things I love.
Have you had any snow this year?
Okay, I am very jealous, because we haven’t gotten snow since I was six. XD It’s so fresh and white and beautiful!
Happy late birthday! Sounds like it was amazing. Your pictures are so pretty, and Bixby is adorable. I just want to squeeze him! 😛

Yep, our weather just seems to get warmer every year! We’ve joked we should just drive somewhere with snow one winter so my little siblings can see it!
Ooh, I would be glad to take up that offer. XD

While that snow looks beautiful, I don’t know if this Florida girl could handle it. I lived in North Carolina for a while and had my fill of snow there lol
