Snowed In...

Today is the official start of Winter!  Since starting winter with 2+ feet of snow on the ground this year, we have already spent countless hours shoveling both the roof and the sidewalks.  (Yes, we shovel the snow off the roof in Minnesota - don't ask, I still don't fully understand).  We have so much to look forward to in this winter wonderland called Minneapolis!

Since we've had some extra time inside these past couple weeks, between shoveling sessions, we've spent our time getting the house ready for baby and the Johnson Family Christmas party later this week (post coming on this later...)! 

Our basement remodel is quickly coming together now and we've been able to move some of the other furniture around in our house to get the baby's room set up.  This photo is the current state of where we're at in her room.  The rug was our big splurge - and if I may say so myself, makes the whole room AWESOME!  It's a braided rug with all the fabulous 'girly, yet not girly' colors (Art-approved).  Some of  you may recognize the lazy-boy (thanks to Mike and Amy Garrett), we were able to repurpose this for the perfect chair for me to relax in once the baby's here.  I'm sure we'll be filling those book shelves soon and am very much looking forward to spending lots of time in this corner!
