Saturday Morning, the whole family actually got up together. Usually my wife or I sleep in a little bit while the other wrangles with the kids. But this morning there was snow on the ground, so after I let the dog out, I go to our room (where the wife is trying to sleep while the 2 kids jump on the bed), and announce “Hey Come here it’s snowing!” Sure enough Gena (4 year old) comes running, which has a domino effect on her sister who come rambling along. Then the wife followed shortly after. A very nice morning as we all gazed out at the snow, and it put us in a Christmas mood. Then it happened. My wife whispers someting in Gena’s ear, and she walked over to me with the cutest look on her face. “Daddy will you make pancakes”. So I did. First time in a while we sat together for breakfast, but it was a good morning

After that we started to put up decorations, garland on the banister, flowers around the entertainment center, and the I moved the couch in the front room (again), so we could put up our tree. It’s SO nice to be in our own house for Christmas, it just feels more “special” if you know what I mean.

I’m really looking forward to Christmas morning with our kids. I’m sure it will be something really special!
