Frosty morning

Because it never snows here, or it hasn't in nearly 8 years, a frosty morning is as good as it gets. Here they are showing me leaves that had a layer of frost on them.

My poor winter deprived children couldn't figure out why the leaves didn't stay frosty when they brought them inside. They figured out that if they put them in the freezer they will stay frosty. So, now we have a jar full of leaves in our freezer. I suppose if it does snow, we will have a snowball or two in there too.

Dancing Elf Roses

So, Ben and Mary did this on their blog, and of course I couldn't resist putting it on ours. Sadly, they won't let you put more than 5 pictures up, that's why Tom's not in the dance. To see yourself as an elf, go here www.elfyourself.com

Decorating the Tree

We decided to go ahead and decorate the tree before Tom came home. Since the kids and I are the ones that do it mainly anyway. It was a lot of fun. It's been a tough 2 months and we needed it.

William loved dumping out the ornaments and playing in them. That's why our ornaments are plastic.

William likes potatoes

Here's a video of Tom feeding William potatoes. Or rather, William feeding himself with Tom's help. It was nice to have Dad home for 3 days.
