Happy Christmas Eve! My early Christmas present from my friend, Niki, were these adorable rain boots. I love it when people remember things you’ve said in passing. Like, when I mentioned to her once how I always wanted a pair of cute rain boots. I don’t remember saying this, until a bag with these boots in it, showed up at my house. I can hardly wait to go puddle-jumping and gardening in them! Thank you, Niki! Love you, girl!

Here are the kids coming in from the snow this morning! It lasted about 10 minutes.

Last night I made chocolate chip cookies. This morning Jack came downstairs (in his pj’s and a pink superhero cape) and said, “Look, Mom! Santa Clause left us cookies!” I laughed. It pretty much snapped me out of my grumpy morning attitude I was having. Now we are enjoying a vigorous snowfall. Too bad Matt had to head out this morning at 4:15 to get to Starbucks. I suppose there are people who will be grateful for their cup of coffee this morning??

We are enjoying our big 9 ft Christmas tree! It only cost $25! Yay! Can you guess how many lights are on the tree?

Elijah took this picture. He has a way about him that makes Elsie smile.

Jack has been into eating carrots. He is my only child who likes carrots. Elijah said to him, “Jack, let’s pretend the man gave the bunny a carrot!” As he handed him a big fat carrot. Jack looked at him with a very grouchy face and said, “I’m NOT a bunny. Bunnies are outside.” The face might have looked something like this scary Indian face:

Nadine decided to climb to the top of the playhouse outside. She said she had to sweep the roof.

My beautiful Christmas cactus is in full bloom!
