It appears as if we had fun.....

and we did, it just took 45 minutes to get the gear on and another 1/2 hour to give ellie her necessary freak out time regarding the tags that are so iiiiitttttttttcccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyy on the tshirt, leggings, hoodie, snowpants, coat, mittens, and boots. aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The 15 minutes outside in the freshly fallen snow was worth it?!

I just love this (THESE) picture (S)....it(THEY) make/s me happy - kids acting like grown ups is just so funny.

At our house...

we decorated our FAKER tree, dressed the mantle with stockings and the sofa table with the the nativity, ate lil smokies wrapped in crescent rolls and ate chocolate chip cookies dipped in egg nog, and watched christmas vacation (well, i did, everyone else fell asleep)..which i guess is good considering we were at a loss for how to proceed with the children during the inappropriate outburst scenes.....
