I’ve always shared my fondness for The Adirondacks as the landscape holds a special place in my heart and was a big part of my upbringing. After all, my husband and I were married in the High Peaks. This past Thanksgiving my family (all 14 of us!) gathered in Lake Placid. We had about 9” of snowfall which made our time together particularly magical and cozy. There is something about the cold sting of upstate air, with a beautiful view of the wilderness in sight…I loved watching the sun creep over the mountains each morning, and the peach skies in the evening disappear over the snowcapped horizon. It is a sensory feeling I wish I could bottle up.

I’m looking forward to the next few days and weeks of holiday decorating, menu scheming and wrapping presents. Until then!
