what season is this?

Most people think of snow in December...or at least cold weather. We've had a weird weather week. We haven't seen the sun (nope, not one peek of it) but the clouds have kept the weather warm. We've had highs in the 70s. It has been a great week to put up outside Christmas decorations (Yeah! The first year ever that we have actually put any outside) and play in the leaves. I have some great pictures of both of these events on my camera, which only hooks up to the other computer. I'll try to get online tomorrow to post those pictures.

The Christmas spirit is high this week in our house and the boys are busting with excitement. Just the decorations in the house are enough to let them know that something is different. Plus, we've been making cookies, singing carols and visiting friends. Andrew wants to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus every night when we light the Advent wreath. Their favorite countdown tool is the chocolate advent calendar that my Aunt Martha gave us. They never forget to ask for their chocolate after dinner and count how many more windows they have left to open. It truely is fun seeing Christmas from a child's perspective.
