Wintry weekend

Yesterday was a very December day (December being an adjective).

Shoveled our driveway for the third time in a week. It's rough keeping up with the snowfall around here.

Knocked out a bunch of Christmas shopping (throwing down more cash that I would have liked) and ran some errands (bought another shovel, oil for the snow blower). Spent enough time in Wal-Mart to go into a shopping-induced walking coma.

Used leftover Thanksgiving turkey to make some Tuscan pumpkin, white bean and turkey soup for lunch (yum).

Spent the evening cuddled by the fire, watching Mizzou lose the BCS championship game to Oklahoma (second year in a row), burning a mulled cider candle (mmm...) and playing Scene It on Xbox 360 (another Wal-Mart purchase -- and totally worth it even though Peter will always kick my butt at that game).

Oh we also popped some popcorn in the kettle popper Peter's parents gave us and drank hot chocolate with whipped cream. Such a fun night of marriage!

Now I just need to get my snow pants and cross country skis from my parents so I can get out and enjoy the snow rather than being a shoveling slave to it.
