Once the parade was over the boys made gingerbread houses.... Well, I made them and they stuck every other piece of candy in their mouths. Once we were done with those we went on a super cold walk around the neighborhood to jump in the biggest piles of leaves we could find.
Thank god for FaceTime, right? We got to FaceTime our friends Jeff and Fabi and see their beautiful family, as well as our families. We may be 3,000 miles away, but technology allows us to see each other in real time and for that we are extremely grateful.
Per tradition we got our tree today! It's a beautiful tree and smells like heaven. The peanuts put the ornaments on and ran around the living room with their stocking screaming with excitement. They are anxiously waiting for their elf on a shelf to arrive and kenny and I are praying that we remeber to move it this year. Last year he would stay in the same place for a few days and we told the kids that Frisbee must have been super tired and forgot to report back to santa. Oops!
Love from the south!
