Flip Flops and Snow

Generally winter in Ohio consists mostly of grey skys and cold weather. We normally get a couple of snow storms but between each storm the temperature warms up and melts all the snow. Not this time. It stayed cold (like below freezing) and now there is more snow coming. So what do we do when it stays cold and snowy? We throw summer parties, like the one I had on Saturday.

There were about 12 of us girls celebrating summer while it stayed nice and cold outside. We wore flip flops, drank smoothies and made pizzas. It was a blast. I had a lot of fun decorating for the party.

I hung up lights:
Put up pictures of the beach:
and put flowers around the apartment:


We listened to steel drum bands and enjoyed smoothies:

Everyone got creative and made their own pizzas too.

I got to catch up with several friends I hadn't seen in a while. What a great way to spend a cold, snowy weekend!
