It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Last Saturday morning we woke up to find our first snow on the ground! It was rapidly melting, so we bundled up fast and took advantage of it while we could. After church on Sunday Paul put the lights on the house and we decorated our poor old (leaning) artificial tree (I'm hoping to get a fancy new VERTICAL artificial tree when they go 75% off after the holidays!). We're very much in the holiday spirit - we've done a little shopping, drank a little hot chocolate, played the Crooner's Christmas cd, smelled the pumpkin pie candle burning, and listened to Kellyn sing "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" about 800 times. Ah, the joys of the season!!
