Deck the Halls

We are all busy preparing for Christmas. The tree is up. The boys are trying to find or make things for presents because they so love to wrap. 9 Days to go!

For Amy

This picture was taken after our second snowfall. We have quite a bit of snow now, though the rain?!? we had on Sunday melted and compacted what snow we did have. We picked up another inch today and as a result Derek is two hours and ten minutes into his commute by bus and will be another half hour until he gets to the bus stop. The wrong bus stop where we will pick him up and drive him to his car at the right bus stop. His bus was running at least 20 minutes behind this bus so he figured getting on the road sooner rather than later was a better choice. It will all work out fine providing we return home all in one piece with three sleeping kiddos.

Thanksgiving, Ect.

We had a great Thanksgiving. So much to be thankful for! We spent T-day with the Dierdorf family as well as Derek's brothers, David (reading to Allie) and Kurt. Derek's parents were in Japan visiting his sister. We were delighted to have Greg and Anna visit from Chicago. We spent the Friday after T-day in a cooking making frenzy. Greg showed off his skill with the "blender". We made chocolate chip, sugar and jumbo gingersnap cookies. I also tried cornflake wreaths. What a sugar filled day. We went to Edinborough park on Saturday to climb around, slide down and scale the climbing wall. Nothing like clambering through a kids park to make one feel old and worn down! We prevailed though!
