It's starting to look a lot like Christmas...

...which is TOTALLY not my thing. typically i am a "well, Christmas is in a few days... better get the tree up" kinda girl. but kids change the game... so does all this snow! with things feeling so "White Christmas" up in here, i almost can't help it! 3 feet of snow will do that to you i guess. plus, Xander was being boring on the couch playing with the ipad, so i HAD to get his attention elsewhere. he didn't even notice me setting up the little mini-tree RIGHT BESIDE HIM until i turned off the ipad and plugged in the lights. then i had his full attention. we looked at the tree and talked about Santa Claus, gifts and what color the lights were. i'm hoping this year he'll finally get it. because i can't wait for Christmas morning, and it's all to do with my kids!

Xander has been quite taken with the tree this year. in fact first thing this morning he insisted on plugging in the lights. we've been trying all day to turn the lights off, but he keeps going over and plugging them in himself. there's no fooling him!

also, Larry came to our rescue with the bobcat! so now we will be able to dig ourselves out on those more nasty snowfalls (like the one we just had). we made quick work, and even Xander got to have a ride. there is nothing better for a little boy! best toy ever!

this picture is funny because Judy is a mad woman with her crawling lately. i think she busted her toe through her jammies from all the "bear walking" she's been trying to do. seriously, if she could be swinging from the curtains she would be! i think this one is going to give us all a run for our money!
