So, here we are...all scrunched onto the 'love' seat for a family photo. It's hard to tell from a photo but, we are all at varying stages of a nasty cold...you know, the kind that comes with coughing fits, sneezing fits, and you can't- breathe-through-your-nose-at-night cold. Anyway, I guess the photo's pretty good. I just wish Hallie had eyes. :)If you notice that the tree is above our heads, you are not seeing things. It really is above our heads. Brian, the genius that he is, made a corner table to place a shorter/smaller tree on this year...yes, we have a toddler. Plus, we didn't want to rearrange our family room to accomodate a bigger tree...really, where would we put it? Anyway, it has worked out great! Nobody has touched it. On the other hand, each child has found out how to crawl behind the couch and under the corner table...to hide with various christmas goodie. yay.
So, in the first picture you'll find Camryn, Calvin, and Hallie. We have had snow (and ice) on the ground for two weeks now. And the rain has returned so we are hoping that it will all melt. But boy is it a slow process. I think that it snowed all day on Christmas day...don't expect that to ever happen again here! It has been fun but, we are ready for it to go...it's taking on too many ucky colors...yellow, brown, black...pink? Anyway, the kids have had a lot of fun sliding around and tromping through it to the park. I tried to make a snowman with them, twice. And both times a young boy who shall remain nameless decided it was better to knock it over. Oh, well. Boys will be boys.
