PROJECT 365 - Day 341 - They must be calling for snow....
They must be calling for snow, because the grill is on! Let me explain. My Wonderful Husband and I have this strange tradition. It all started when The Bear and The Princess were infants and we had a blizzard in MD..... our neighbors came over and we had a BBQ - yes a BBQ. Since then, it seems that when snow is in the forecast we don't start thinking about soup and hot chocolate but instead we fire up the grill! Strange, I know....but yummy.... and oddly cozy.
PROJECT 365 - Day 340 - The Babysitter
So, Poppy's dog has been with us for over a week now and she has finally resigned herself to her current situation. I believe that she does not feel that she is here so that we can "dog sit" her but rather she is here so that she can "babysit" the children. That being said, she takes that job very seriously and can usually be found where ever you can find the kids. As you can see, it is an exhausting job to be the babysitter. ;-)
PROJECT 365- Day 339 - Burke, Isabelle, & Barnes
The elves arrived this weekend after we put up our Christmas tree. The kids woke up Sunday morning and found them waiting for them in their rooms. Then this morning when we woke up we found that Burke, Isabelle, and Barnes had taken my camera last night and had a little photo shoot! I guess they wanted to make sure that they made it into PROJECT 365! Those silly elves - what will they think of next? ;-)
PROJECT 365 - Day 338 - Let there be lights!
The Christmas decorations are complete now that the outside lights are up! I love the way our house looks with Christmas lights!
PROJECT 365 - Day 337 - The Christmas Tree Farm
Today was our annual trip to the Christmas tree farm. I can hardly believe that this is the 15th Christmas that My Wonderful Husband and I have gone to cut down our tree! It is even harder to believe that we have had "company" on these trips for 9 years now.... We have been going to this tree farm for the past 8 years with first two munchkins, then three. As I snapped this picture (a shot I try to get every year) it was one of those moments that I have been having a lot of lately... My goodness, they are getting so big! I remember carrying them in backpacks as we tromped around the farm. I remember not getting very far and pretty much picking the first tree that looked good.... I think this was the first year that no one rode on Daddy's shoulders. Instead, they set off together down the path and really helped us pick out the tree.
PROJECT 365 - Day 336 - Santa hats
There is just something about Santa hats that make these kids happy and that really makes me smile. It is truly the little things in life. :-)
PROJECT 365 - Day 335 - The Countdown Has Begun!
The countdown has begun! We took the first link off of the Christmas chain tonight and the kids made their own Christmas chains to hang in their rooms. There are now 23 days until Christmas!
