Ooohhhhh...

...the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is sooo delightful.

So since we can't go where we want to go..let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Well, we are stuck at home yet another holiday. Not due to sick children this time, but ice. WAY Too slick to leave yesterday, better this morning but saw two accidents and slideoffs 5 minutes after leaving and deciding since we were headed north where it was colder we would forgo the plans and hideout in the burg until a later date. So Tim made a nice fire last night to keep us warm and cozy and we vegged out in front of a "opened early" movie.

And since I have yet to share any tree pics, thought I would show some pics of the decor that no one else will probably see besides us.

The sheer excitement of a simple Christmas tree by a 2 and almost 4 year old was amazing. It just warmed your heart to hear things like "Look Mommy! The perfect tree!" and then with each ornament..."Look mommy, a star! a snowman!" (you get the idea?) Too cute.

So far the tradition has been Lucas topping off the tree, I am sure next year there will be a fight.

And the final decor. I think I like my house better at Christmas.And just to let you know, Santa is happy that he no longer has to do breathing treatments twice a day. We did recieve word yesterday via a checkup that both children are finally healthy (still a residual caugh when they get running), but no more wheezing or infected ears. My Christmas wish came true!!

I hope you Holiday wishes come true as well. Enjoy the family, be safe in the weather, and Merry Christmas to all!!
