Christmas??

Can you recognize what is wrong with this picture? No, it isn't one of those optical illusions where you see a hidden picture if you stare at it long enough. What is wrong with this picture is.....



NO SNOW!! ZERO!! ZILCH!! NADA!!

No one writes songs about a brown Christmas! Looks like that is what we are getting this year. No snow in the forecast for the rest of the week! I am so bummed by this. It just doesn't feel like Christmas without any snow! Yet, the festivities must go on!
Sam, our resident elf continues to show up daily. He has been getting himself into some pretty interesting predicaments around here! 
 Tree by Claire!
 All 4 Christmas trees have been assembled and decorated



 Santa has been visited. No prize winning photo this year! As we were waiting in line, Claire suddenly becomes very shy, hiding behind my leg and states, "Sometimes I like Santa, sometimes I don't. Today, I don't think I like him" She did get close enough for a picture with Santa but drew a blank when it came to telling him what she wanted, so luckily Carter did the talking for her. 

 The stockings have been hung! 
 And cute pictures of babies in Santa hats have been taken! 
 Can you tell which one is Case and which one is Carter? 

School is out tomorrow for 11 days, presents all wrapped, supplies for Santa's cookies bought, groceries for our special Christmas eve dinner purchased, Christmas music playing in the background, now if we could just get some SNOW!!
