We tried to use the new sleds today, but, surprisingly, the snow was too fluffy to slide on.

Jim made an ornament in kindergarten in 1969, that we hang up every year. Annie made one very similar to it this year. She likes that they're the same.

this is so sweet James loves his sister. He is always giving her kisses. Then later on we went to Colleen's and James had lots of fun and loved all his gifts, thanks so much to everyone for making his Christmas so special! He got so excited every time he got handed a gift. This was such a great Christmas, I loved seeing how excited he got!

"Our home may not be much to look at from the outside but the inside will really be bright and cheerful and so full of love. You know in a home it's really not the furnishings that make a nice place, it's the love for one another of it's people that are in the home that counts and makes a place bright and cheerful to live in." - Dad (May 11, 1944)

I think that I finished up all of the wrapping tonight. I have a nagging feeling, though, that I forgot something...

Cole (and I) added on to the snow fort with all of the new snow that we got today. Notice how the first section of the fort is tipping over. We don't think that it is going to last the night, it is really leaning over.

We got another new ornament for our tree today - a gift from a wonderful sister/neighbor. Thanks Molly! It's beautiful! Annie hung it way up at the top.

I dislike that the plows come, after I have shoveled our driveway of course, and snow piles up at the end of the driveway. It took me, what seemed like forever, to get the end of the drive way clear. Not sure what I expect them to do, but rrrgghh!

I didn't take many pictures, today, but the kids did. They borrowed my camera & took lots of pictures of the pets to upload to lolcats. This is one of them.

I did the bills today...can't they just go away until after the holidays? : )

We went for our annual shopping trip to Dollar Tree, today. We give the kids a dollar for each person who lives in our house & they sneak around the store picking out presents for each other. Lots of fun trying to find the right thing and trying to keep from being seen.

Some days I just don't know what to take a picture of...and, some days there are just so many things.
Vaughn has been waiting to hear from DePaul University to see if he got accepted. He thought that he'd hear through an email first. But, we were surprised today when he got this envelope in the mail. I think that DePaul is his number one choice.
Then Eric, Vaughn and Cole went out to play in the snow. They made this awesome fort. It actually ended up getting a little bigger after this picture was taken.
