When we moved here with all our new wedding gifts we discovered some of our stuff didn't fit in the new kitchen. So a lot of our serving and dining stuff went in the basement. Every time we needed any of it we would dig it out of a box, wash it out of paranoia since it was kept in a dusty basement, and store it back in the basement when we were done with it.
Since the time we moved in I have been telling Ben that we needed to get some type of cabinet for our dining room or kitchen. And we finally got it...
So now we don't need to go into the basement if we have more than 2 people over. :)
Oh, and we did some snowshoeing after one of our big snows. It's starting to look like a real winter around here (for the first time sine we arrived). We've already had 3 snow days, 2 delays, and an early dismissal so far this year!
Before you think we're lucky we get so many free days off, remember that a snow day is due to large amounts of snow...snow that requires shoveling to get the cars out the next day. Worse yet, a delay just means you wake up at the same time you usually do to spend a couple hours digging out your car in the dark and then drive to work on busy, snow-covered roads. Then you spend the entire day hoping it doesn't snow more before you get home so you have time for dinner instead of spending the whole night shoveling.
We also finally got the Christmas cookies Ben's parents shipped to us after our holiday visit. Ben was so excited when he finally saw that box on the porch it was too funny! I think he may have been skipping to the door.

That shoveling part...I know that Dad will commiserate with you. That was a daily job most years. Has Ben made any cookies-let's say to celebrate your test pilot school training? Your cabinet looks nice-very nice.
is that Red Wing Merlot; vintage 2008 in that sideboard? ;)
