It's quite the s-n-o-w-y Saturday outside, and it's just perfect for our snow-loving birthday girl, Sarah! Today is her 23rd birthday! Happy Birthday, Sarah!!
The above view is taken from Granny's back door looking east towards the Blue Ridge, although no mountains are in sight today! Tom measured 6" already on the ground at lunch, and it's still snowing with 8" predicted before it tapers off this evening.
The above snowy view is taken out our front door complete with the Baby Jesus in a homemade manger with fresh cedar greens. Amazingly, the summer's red geraniums are still blooming! I'll post more outside decoration pictures next week.
The table is appropriately set with snowman plates in anticipation of tonight's celebration. Sarah picked Snow on the Mountain, Lime Jello Salad, toasted bread, Funfetti cake and ice cream for her special birthday meal.
Wish I could invite you over to join us...but the unfortunate thing about snow in our neighborhood is that we can't get out and no one else can get in! I think we'll have fun though--she's already picked the games we'll play tonight: Pit and Trivial Pursuit!
Hope the rest of your weekend is enjoyable!

Happy Bithday Sarah! What a pretty winter wonderland you have to enjoy for your special day. I sure miss the snow. We don't get much down here in Georgia. We did have a prediction of a little today but didn't get a single flake. Thanks for sharing that beautiful picture of the snow. Hope you have a wonderful celebration.
Blessings,
Victoria

Okay ~ I have to giggle ~ what's up with these December gals and their Funfetti cakes? I'm about to put one in the oven for my birthday girl; tomorrow is her day.
Hugs and very best Birthday wishes to Sarah!

Happy Birthday, Sarah! How wonderful to have snow on your special day! I have always wanted to have Christmas dishes, but I am so excited about doing what I see on your table...a cute variety of snowman plates! I am going to start looking for some soon. :-)

Your beautiful snowy scene looks just like a beautiful Christmas card! Happy, happy birthday to Sarah ~ I'm so glad she got snow on her birthday! I just had to check out your Snow on the Mountain recipe, because I had never heard of it! YUM:) Your snowmen plates are the perfect added touch, too!
