Feeling Wellie

New Wellies

I came home today to a package on the doorway – it was a package from my little sister, Sarah. These adorable wellies were inside! She claims that they are a belated birthday gift (my bday was last November!) After a squeal of excitement, they went right on my feet. Snow was just starting to fall, and there was a cold breeze (hence the blurry photos!) but what a perfect time for wellies: The meteorologists are predicting some snowfall and freezing rain tomorrow!

I’ll take the nasty weather if it means I can wear this fancy footwear!

**UPDATE:  Sarah got them from Target.com, and they have quite the selection!

Speaking of footwear…
