ahh..winter!

Getting ready for the holidays this week at our house. We put up a few lights outside, icicle lights for the boys' bedroom, and of course our stockings and Christmas tree. That was an experience. This was the first year I've had TWO boys big enough to help hang ornaments. Lets just say it was rough...lol. The Trenton damage count at the end of the day was four ornaments, a salt to my snowman salt and pepper shakers, a picture frame, and a little old car with santa driving it that had belonged to my grandpa. It was more damage than I had expected, but I cant be mad, he's only two.. and most of it just needs some super glue. It turned out very pretty though. I love our new house. Christmas decorating sucked at the old house. No matter what I did it was cold, big and stark white. This house is warm and cozy and perfect. Theres a big cold wave going thtough right now, apparently it snowed here but we all slept through it. The evidence is all over Mt. Diablo. I've never seen it that covered in snow before. Very exciting! Except its bitterly cold outside all day long so that kind of sucks. Grandma Lois went into the emergency room today with fluid around her heart, so we're keeping her in our thoughts. We love you Grandma!
