It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas

December 4th, 2010. Allie's first snowfall! And really the first time that I can remember it snowing before Christmas or in December for that matter.  The kids had a good time playing in it before it all melted by noon the following morning. They were up before 730 in the morning begging me to go out and play. So I sent them out in the cold and a few minutes later Chase comes in crying because he cannot feel his fingers anymore. Ah the joys of childhood. When all you had to worry about was frostbitten fingers and toes.
Well our Christmas tree is up. It kinda looked like Clark Griswald's tree before I made Jay cutting it down to size.  We have decided to make it a tradition to go out and get a tree the day after Thanksgiving.  I put all the lights on it after having to go out and get more lights because none of mine were working. Then the kids put up their ornaments and then the tree started to lean to that side. So I made Jay climb under it and fix that. After a few choice words he got it done.  So now the gifts are wrapped and under the tree. We are just about ready for Christmas Day. I'm starting to get exctied.
