December

So, the week after Thanksgiving was a huge bust for our family.  We got a horrid stomach flu.  Especially poor Mia.  She had it for 5 days!  No fun for mommy.  We did manage to get the Christmas tree up and the family room decorated.  Then, yesterday, we had our first "real" snowfall.  The kids had a blast playing out in the snow!  Mia finally got into the snow thing, too.  Enough that she through a snowball at ME!!!  Traitor!

The kids getting the tree ready:

The finished product.  They did this almost completely by themselves this year:

The stockings (we lost Brianna's other stocking somehow):

The sofa table:

And this is the snowman Nic did almost completely by himself.  Brianna had to help him lift up the final piece because his arms were so sore!  And then Brianna "decorated" the snowman:

Happy Holidays!!!
