It's been a little cold, especially for North Carolina. We're spending lots of time indoors.

Christmas

The kids loved Christmas morning, of course. Although Madeline was a little confused and groggy since we dragged her out of bed.

Trees

We go to the same lot every year to pick out our Christmas tree. One of these days, I want to drive up to the mountains and pick up a frasier fir, but this works for now.

The kids were so great helping us decorate.

We also had fun with our new tree sugar cookie cutters.

All I Want for Christmas

Ethan lost his second front tooth tonight, just in time to add it to his Christmas list.

Gingerbread

We hosted FHE here in early December, and decided to make gingerbread houses. So fun!

Snow

It snowed the day we painted. Not enough to really play in, but Colin wanted to make the most of it.

Painting

We decided to finally get around to painting our living room after over 2 years in our home. We were so lucky to have such good helpers in our kids.

Jason was determined to paint the two-story wall himself. I was not convinced it was a good idea.

The ladder was one thing...this is just too much for me. But the room looks great!
