First snow of the year!

Welcome to December! The weather people have been talking about the snow that's coming today for most of the past week, and the kids and I have been looking forward to it with eager anticipation (hubby seems to lack our enthusiasm). A Saturday snow is perfect, especially since it's all supposed to melt away on Sunday - no commuting nightmares on Monday morning (at least not snow-related).

The kids had really wanted to decorate the tree last night, but I was also supposed to go to bookclub. I managed to hold them off another day by digging out all the outdoor lights, etc. and decorating the front yard instead. We now have some mini-trees with twinkling lights, a row of candycanes, a light-up deer, and a blow-up penguin wearing earmuffs out in front, along with lights on some of the bushes near the front door. Maybe today we'll get the rest of the lights up! We'll also get the Christmas tree up (in between trips outdoors to build snowmen and have a snowball fight or two).

Your house sounds very Christmasy. Wish we were there to see it and join in the snow ball fights. Have fun in the snow if it comes.
