Winter Wonderland

It's definitely winter here, KC-style (meaning that it has iced all weekend with a little bit of snow, making everything outside an ice rink and getting into your car a 30-minute process of scraping and cursing). Gotta love it.

Since it was the perfect weekend to not go anywhere, Ryan and I took the two days to celebrate the holidays and give the Nut some much needed TLC (obvious joke there that I won't touch). On Friday night, we spent the evening drinking wine and watching holiday movies. I'm now a huge fan of "The Nightmare Before Christmas," (What's this? What's this? So visually awesome!) and I got my fill of one of my favorite holiday feel-good movies, "Love Actually."

Saturday, we put up Christmas lights (LED!). Here's Ryan freezing...for some reason he refused to wear gloves.

Later that day, we cleaned the house from top to bottom...scrubbed bathtubs and toilets, dusted everything and Ryan even deep-cleaned the wood floors. The Nut is so pretty now! Then we FINALLY painted the baseboards in our living room and hallway. See?

Take note of how we're painting the partially painted light-green baseboards white. Here's the finished product. We should have done this a long time ago!
