Holiday Cards

I always enjoy seeing my brother's holiday card from work (since they are graphic designers) and since I put it on our blog last year, I felt the need to include it again this year. So enjoy!

It wouldn't be fair if I didn't embarass Ronnie too...

More Pictures of Christmas Past...

This is my all time favorite Christmas picture!



And here are two more:

Can You Say "SNOW DAY!"

Today was Anna's first snow of the season. Although she had remembered it from last year and knew what it was, she had forgotten that it covers everything. Frequently, throughout the morning while she waited for its arrival she would ask if some of the neighborhood kids would come and take it all away. She even broke down in tears at one point and said "Mommy, I don't think it is ever going to start snowing!". It finally did however and she had a great time sledding, digging and making snow angels -her first!. Here are some pictures of the day. It's great being a teacher :)

Christmas Tree 2008

Here is our Christmas tree. I'm obsessessed this year with checking under the treeskirt for water leaks. Last year, our treestand leaked all over our brand, new hardwood floor and I didn't notice it for 24 hours! When I did see what had happened, I was home alone with Anna and her little friend Ryan, another two year old. I had no choice but to slowly slide the tree across the room and mop up the mess. And yes, you guessed it, once I started sliding it, the whole tree tipped over and crashed. Glass, tree sap and pine needles were EVERYWHERE! It was such a mess and I practically had a nervous breakdown because my new floor was warped and the rest of the floor was going to be if I didn't get the 12 foot tree back up. I can laugh at it now but it was not a good day. Anna says she still remembers it too. We had to buy all new ornaments because all of ours broke. So the moral of this story... check your treestand for leaks and cracks...DAILY!

Some Thanksgiving Highlights...

We had a lovely Thanksgiving with Ron's family. They arrived Wednesday morning and we enjoyed our time with them. Dinner was great and enjoyed by all.
