Snow storm on Nantucket!! What a perfect way to end a lovely holiday on this beautiful little island!

On the first day of snow, there were only a few inches, but we were so excited that we decided to go on a little adventure!  We couldn’t wait to see what the island looked liked covered in snow. Patty drove us around the snow covered island and we hopped out and took pictures. We stopped along the way to get coffee, hot chocolate and Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuits from Stubbys… it hit the spot on that cold day.

Here are some snapshots from the day…

These pictures show you the calm before the big snow storm Hercules that followed the next day!  We had a big sledding adventure day! There will be a post tomorrow with more snow pictures and videos.

Nothing beats the holidays when you are together with family.  Like the song goes… It’s the most wonderful time of the year!  And we love spending it on Nantucket.

The gangs all here! Thanks for coming all this way Allie!  It would’t have been the same with out you.

Being an LA girl these days, Allie has missed the snow.  She was so excited it snowed on Christmas morning!

Christmas Dinner with the Hollisters! We feel so lucky that when Steve and Em got married, our family friends became family.  This is our 3rd year celebrating Christmas on Nantucket together.  

Ivy being cute. As usual.

Ivy got a new crate for Christmas – Steve set it up and thought it would be a good place to nap.Like every year, it always goes by way too fast .  Until next year!
