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)

reading James a bedtime story

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.

Miranda December 22, 2009

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!
