Christmas Happenings

Winter means snow in Cedar. We have a great view. I love it. With the snow comes decorating the tree. Sean is a trooper. He hauls the tree up, he assembles the tree he puts everylight we can find on the tree and then he gets to stand back while I dictate (and that is the proper word in this case) where each ornament is to be placed. By the end of the month not one of these ornaments is where it was place at first. I forget this every year and think it will look perfect through the whole holiday. Someone please remind me next year. It will save sean some frustration.


You will have to tilt your heads to catch the vision. I just don't have the time or patience to figure out how to flip it with out starting all over again. Pretty tho right?!
The next fun tradition is gingerbread houses. Everyone is cordially invited over next year to make these fun houses, enjoy hot cocoa, and partake of the fighting of the season. Screams of children fighting over candy to decorate thier homes is a time honored tradition in the Arnold home!!

This one went to our neighbors house. Which means I made it so that I knew the candys were not licked before they were applied. I hope th Sargents appreciate this simple act of kindness!

Isn't that what this season is really all about........ not spreading kiddie germs to the neighbors!



Last Thanksgiving

Cousins came to play!!



Xavier brought the kids and we got to hang out, that involved lots of laughing and general merry-ment!!


Then came snowplay. There wasn't much snow left when we got there, but that didn't stop the kids from having a blast!!
