SNOWDAY!!
Our boys in front of the Christmas tree.
Thunder - he stands on his own for seconds now and loves to walk holding our fingers. He'll be on the go by February for sure (sorry, Mom!)
Our boys looking Christmasy
So cute.

Just finished decorating 15 gingerbread houses for Buck's class tomorrow. RKZ finished stuffing (with Buck) 15 gift bags. Is it bad that we included alcohol in the teachers' bags? Only the little shot sizes, but I thought it'd be nice to give them something they might actually want for Christmas (our class gift was a goat for a farmer in some other country...do what you want with that info). I have some weird throat illness, so I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. I am fine, but I never mention illness in our family in the posts.

Can't believe that it's almost Christmas 2009. We accidentally burned our Christmas candle to the nub tonight. It's that kind that counts down the days and you burn it each day until it reaches the next number. We WERE still on 14, so we let it burn a bit longer to reach the 21...unfortunately, we stopped watching at now, according to the candle, Christmas is gone.

Symbol of our lives right now :) Whatever.
