It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Current weather: 34F, Mostly sunny

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, both inside and outside of the house. That's right--we had some snow last night. Finally! It's been over a month since our first little bit of accumulation. I'm not going to bother taking pictures since it looks exactly like it did last time. There can only be about an inch out there now, and it's quickly melting, but it was almost nice to wake up to the sound of snow plows. I'm sure I won't be saying that once February hits and I've been woken up by snow plows one too many times. There was actually quite a bit of snow out there when I checked out the window overnight, but it's just too warm for it to stick around. The kids were super excited to break out their snow boots again this morning for the quick trip to drop Kyle off at school, but they're going to be really disappointed again when they see the snow is gone by lunchtime.

We've been decorating the house for Christmas over the last couple of days, and the kids are really having fun with it. I'm really starting to enjoy breaking out decorations and having Kyle exclaim, "Oh, I remember this one!" It's so much fun now that he's starting to remember things from year to year. We're making memories and starting family traditions, and it makes the entire holiday season that much more special. Christmas has always been my favorite part of the year, but now it's even better.
