When I woke up this morning, the ground was pretty 'bone dry'. I thought to myself, Well - the weather man was wrong once again. (it was supposed to snow) About an hour goes by and I see really small flurries here and there and even a little bit of white on areas of the ground. Maybe the weather man won't be wrong after all...
Last Saturday - a week ago from yesterday - we went to go get our tree. It was a gorgeous day but pretty chilly. Right when we get to the tree farm, we spot two really good looking trees. I told David to keep looking because there might be one even better! The more we looked, the less we found. :) I told David that from now on, we're going with the first good one we see. No matter what I say. I felt bad for him. We never could find those nice ones at the beginning. But we did find a great one! It just took longer.
He found a bug and thought that was the greatest thing he'd ever done.
We brought it home, got it nice and straight in the stand and came to find out that more than half of our strands of lights don't work! We weren't able to go get more, so the tree has been sitting in our living room completely bare this entire week! The lights that we put on our tree are the white ones. We had gotten some small colored ones to put up on a tree outside and decided to just use those on the indoor tree.
So, back to this morning...
We put the lights on the tree along with our ornaments and now it's more complete. :) Gabriel got to hang up all of our bells, and let me tell you, they are all nicely put at the very bottom of the tree...the majority in just one spot. I love it.
After the tree was done there was more snow on the ground so we bundled up and went outside for some tasty snow. G$ LOVED to eat the snow. Kira always loves it. She plays just like a little kid. We weren't out there for too long...Gabriel gets cold and then gets really upset. He started to cry after about a half hour, so we came in and made hot cocoa. Church was canceled, too. We all got to take nice long naps. (our church schedule is the 1:30-4:30...AWEFUL time! but we live...so our naps were much appreciated today)
The snow has yet to stop. It's so pretty. And going back to what I'm thankful for...I'm definitely thankful for HEAT!
