The temperature actually zipped up today and some of the snow melted. There's still plenty to give us hopes of a White Christmas but at least the roads and sidewalks aren't quite as covered any more. There's a family of snowmen out in the front yard that the kids made when they got home from school this afternoon. Good thing I had a bag of carrots on hand and we're a few scarves short but I think we'll manage. There's even one little snow girl just about Bella's size. Mommy gave her a little help on that one, she was really much more interested in scooping the snow from one mitten to the other.

Chris spent the day at Garth's studio but got home just in time for tacos and 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town'. When you've got three wee ones there's no way you can miss any of the festive cartoons. Lily and Connor got quite a kick out of the fact Santa's 'original' name was Kris Kringle. Poor Chris, he got teased about that all the way through story time. Bet he was glad when they were finally asleep
