I Really Do Like Winter…Right?! {Top Ten Tuesday}

Feb 8, 2011 | 6 comments

February is the time of year when I need to remind myself why I like living through all four seasons here in the Midwest, especially winter.

There really are things to like about winter, I just tend to forget about them this far in, so here’s my reminder to myself…

Top Ten Things I Actually Like About Winter


10. The way the kiddos look all bundled up to go outside.

9. Fresh baked bread is even better in the cold winter months.

8. Winter jammies.

7. Seeing my guys work together.

6. Winter smells – winter candy apple, cinnamon, peppermint, I could go on and on…

5. Winter accessories – scarves, boots, wrist warmers, slippers, fuzzy socks…

4. Discovering new games to play together inside when it’s just too cold. (-24 below windchill right now.)

3. The drinks. Oh yum, the drinks. Coffee, chai tea, hot chocolate – all so glorious.

2. Seeing the boys discover the wonder of snow – both from the inside…

and the outside…

1. The snuggles. Lots and lots of snuggles.

And even in the middle of dangerous ice and snow and wind chills, winter can be beautiful…

I’m linking up with the Top Ten fun over at Oh Amanda’s place today!

    Aw, these are great things about winter…I need to remember b/c the weather has been making me crabby.

    *thumbs up*

    Our winter has been odd this year. While y’all in the midwest and east have gotten a LOT of snow and ice … we just hit 1 1/2ft total for this winter yesterday in my part of Wyoming. Had to shovel for the 2nd time all winter yesterday. And today will be the FIRST time all winter that we can actually go outside to play in the snow because it’s not TOO cold or TOO windy! We LOVE winter!!!!

    I guess there are a few merits of this season after all 😉

    Lemonade from the lemons…I’m feeling really glad that we got home from WI when we did. It’s wet and 39 degrees here and I’m thinking it’s miserable! 🙂
