It's tradition to go down to pick out our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. Usually it's a little cold, but it was super cold and snowy. It took an extra 20 minutes to drive down, but it was easier on the way home. I gave each of the kids one of those little hand warmers. They had been building snowmen all day and were wet, so most of their heavy winter gear was at home drying and they wore their lighter jackets. Seth's jacket has a pouch in the front. He stuck his dinosaur in it and his hand warmer. He liked it because it kept his tummy warm and he kept sticking his hands in their too. I gave mine to Evelyn because she seemed particularly cold. We couldn't find Sam's winter coat. It was a hand me down from a neighbor, so I don't feel horrible about losing it, but Sam was in need. Jer went out the next day to do baptisms for the dead with Ada and go to Costco. They found Sam a nice warm one. He sure smiled big when Jer gave it to him.
On the way home from choosing a tree, we stopped to shovel Grandma and Grandpa's driveway. I love when their lights are up. So pretty and festive. The kids worked hard and were pretty thorough.
First day of Daycare. Seth was all about the legos.
Kids and their snowmen. I think they were doing a war or something because each of the kids took a corner of the front yard, walled it off and built a snowman in front of it. Seth's snowman got tipped over by Evelyn so he didn't want me to take a picture of it, but it's the first one he's ever made on his own.
Got this picture from my sister in law, Sophie.
