Decorating the tree (we had to go fake this year because we didn't have a spare Saturday to drive to the mountains and cut one down). The kids loved it. We gave them each a new ornament: Seth--a violin because this is his first year playing, Sarah--a soccer ball because she played soccer for the first time this year, Kathryn--an ABC ornament because she started school this year and Luke--a oven mitt with cooking untensils that says "I love to cook" (what is better than that for that little boy!!).
This is what our living room looked like at night. A glowing tree, a fire in the fireplace, stockings hung and a wonderful, peaceful feeling. I absolutely love this time of the year!!
We have had super cold days lately. This morning is was -3 at 9 o'clock this morning. The highs have been in the low teens, so we stay inside as much as possible, but yesterday Luke wanted to go outside so we decided to shovel the driveway. Kathryn and Luke got their play sand shovels out (thanks Beckah) and started helping. It was so cute.
Today I found these two like this. Seth came out of his bedroom after school with his hat like this. I asked him why he was wearing his hat that way and he said that it's "COOL" to wear it like that, who knew! I found Kathryn doing this and couldn't resist taking the picture. There was a fire going in the fireplace and she was looking through a toy ad. So fun!!
