what i did :: i love Astrid's family

The day after the big blogger meet up I hung around Astrid's family's home. It had snowed a lot there even though there was hardly any in Peterborough itself. I was so happy that it had snowed because the mountains of fluffy white stuff made the trees around their house look even more beautiful. Since I'm an absolute dummy I don't have any photos of the outside of their house so you will have to trust me that it looks, as Astrid described it and I agree, like Narnia. Here are a few shots from the morning.
How adorable is Astrid? I can't believe she is fifteen years old, I swear she is more mature than me! And she has fantastic taste in everything. If Astrid is this cool now, I don't think I will be able to handle her coolness once she gets to be my age. Seriously, watch out for this little lady :)

It was such a lovely visit and Astrid and her family made me feel so welcome in their home. I can't thank them enough!

    tee hee.. adorable! Glad you got to stay in their lovely woodland retreat (still wish the snow would have forced you to stay around longer.. lol) - that first funny face shot is classic!

    Aawh you guys looks so cute in that first pic! And the snow looks so pretty! I wish it looked that pretty here, maybe then I would like it instead of having a love-hate relationship with it. xD

    I love how your hair looks in these photos, it looks more purple-ish?
