the tree is up (has a lean which I will need help correcting). I've started wrapping, I have my shopping almost all done, I have started baking, and yesterday we got a little bit of white...

Christmas is finally feeling like it is on it's way....
I've been listening to the Christmas station on the satellite since the first of the month.

This weekend we are being invaded by family for 'Christmas'. My mom's side of the family is coming down this weekend to celebrate Christmas with us. The only problem...my house is slightly out of control!!! and I have a toddler who no longer is napping. He used to consistently nap 3 hours like clockwork! This last two weeks, I am lucky if I get a 45 minute nap out of him and it takes him over an hour to fall asleep. I have tried putting him down later...doesn't help. sigh
I am thankful that he is still in his crib, as atleast I know he is in there when I put him down and that he isn't getting into stuff...except when he moves his crib by shaking it and then pulls the blinds down, rips them, etc. sigh

I got some good photos of him playing in our 'first snow' yesterday!

Last night at Guides we made snowman candle holders out of glass jars and some tissue paper. i am VERY happy with how they turned out!!! I got a group shot of them standing behind thier lit up snowmen.
