It was a very white December... we absolutely loved it! We did a lot of skiing and playing outside. January, so far, has kind of been crappy!!! From nearly 60 degrees to -5 below!!! What the heck?!!! No wonder I have been hacking up a lung for over a week now! If only we could have our beautiful December back...
This is my "blue tree"... wonder how it got that name??? ;o) It was so blasted bright! It was like a beacon in the neighborhood directing us back home. We would turn the corner and the kids would shout, "I see our tree!!! There's our house!!!" Pretty pathetic, actually! I put so many darn lights on that tiny tree. I probably damaged the poor thing! 
Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpas... (no, Brainiac did NOT shrink! She's kneeling, dork!)
Christmas morning, post-Santa bliss!
