Christmas tree

Here are some pictures of the house, cookies we made and our tree. Of course, being a young videographer I made a mistake and filmed the tree sideways and I don't know how to change the video..so hold the computer sideways. As you know, it is a small tree. If you had been here, the girls know we would have had to cut a hole in the roof to get one in.

The snow is almost gone, just a few patches. But today we have wind advisories. It is really ripping through. Rain with it last night, which was miserable, but no rain today. We all agree we hate the 5:30 night time. It makes us all feel slow and depressed. Friday night, Hannah and I are going to the planeterium to see a show on ice worlds. Other than that, we are just getting things ready for our Christmas guests. my thoughts are also towards end of the year stuff I have to do for the band, the homeowner's assoc, the club, and our taxes. It makes me long for the flat tax.

Today I am going to polish our silver, which should take about 8 hours. I am taking stuff to do in the oboe studio while the silver is polishing.

First Snow

As promised, pictures of our first snow. I could not get that one picture to turn! It was about 2" and there are pockets that stayed, but the roads cleared by noon.

Katie led the Christmas

Parade. Hannah went with Grandma. I scrapped all day and didn't get done nearly what I had hoped. I think I could make cards or scrapbook everyday and still not run out of pictures or things to do.

Today, we are putting up the tree and decorating, so more pictures to come. And, yes, we are going to Home Depot to get the tree. I understand they are a lot cheaper. We are doing the tree in blue and silver. We are also going to clean before decorating. Using the dyson is great, but not the experience Bryan described. It is still so cold the dogs don't want to go out. Finally, my mom and the millers have reduced our cat population and we are back done to 3.

I know I sent you fall leaves, but I don't think I can send snow.
