Friday’s snow storm came and went and left behind wonderful scenery. We woke up on the morning of Christmas Eve under a bright blue sunny sky. It was gorgeous, bits of ice and some snow had stuck to the trees and the streets were still all covered by a thick coat of snow.
Growing up in rainy Brittany, I have never had a “white Christmas” before coming to Canada, and even though snow is somewhat expected at this time of the year in Ottawa, the sudden snowfall seems to have pleased everyone. Yay, a fresh layer of the white stuff for Christmas!
Of course, everyone will be complaining about slippery roads on Boxing Day but meanwhile, we are all enjoying this unexpected cold-but-sunny day.
This is our first Christmas as a family, with baby Mark. If someone had told me last year that I would have a ten-week-old baby in my arms for Christmas the following year, I probably would have laughed. Life is always full of surprises!
Must be much more fun to celebrate Christmas when you have children of your own too 🙂
It will be fun in the future, this year he didn’t care much about it!
Beautiful photos! Growing up in Canada nothing says Christmas to me like a lot of snow. Hope you had a great first Christmas with Mark.
We certainly enjoyed his first white Christmas–super scenery!
Hi Zhu,
This is so beautiful! The nice thing about snow is it transforms everyday objects into pretty ice or snow sculptures. I so enjoyed this 🙂
It does, doesn’t it! The change is scenery from one day to another is quite amazing.
