Lately

Night playing and sledding in the snow// Having a toast to my sister, her husband, and my grandfather// Tyler watching the snow// Mason sitting in a highchair for the first time at a restaurant// Keeping warm in my earmuffs and oversize plaid scarf.

Happy Monday.  I hope everyone had a good weekend.  I had a very sad one, as I had to say goodbye to my grandfather.  He passed away early last week, and his funeral was Friday up in Vermont.  It was a tough day, but I kept reminding myself of how lucky I was to have him in my life for as long as I did.  The rest of the weekend was spent with my family in Vermont, reminiscing about all the good times we shared with our Poppa T, as we called him.  In times of sadness, there is nothing more cheering than spending time with your loved ones.  We kept busy by visiting one of our favorite restaurants in Killington, Sushi Yoshi, playing in the snow, night sledding, and of course enjoying cocktails and comfort food around the fire.  It was also my sister and her husband's fifth wedding anniversary this past weekend, so we made sure to have a toast to them too!  It was freezing up in Vermont, so I made sure to stay warm in my over sized scarves and earmuffs (coming soon to the blog).
