Christmas Jammies!

We are following Melissa's example and posting (late, I might add) the kids in their Grandma Mary jammies. Thanks Mom and Dad, it was a great day!

Christmas 2008

I am so thankful for the family that I have been given. We spent the morning at our house and then we packed up food and gifts and went to Grandma and Papa's house. There was (predictably) much more food than we needed and the afternoon was spent resting while the kids played in the snow. It was a good Christmas indeed!

To-Using!

When Craig got home from work today he supplied a snack for the girls and as I walked by Maggie said, "Mom, we are 'to-using'!". I must admit I was a little confused and with all children comes a foreign language that we hope we will master sometime before they are 18. I asked, "You are crushing?", to which Maggie decided a demonstration was in order. I'm not sure where Maggie picked up on this. Maggie held up her banana and Molly did as well, they smashed them together and yelled "To Us"! They were indeed 'To Us-ing' and I finally understood.

'We scored a tree!'

Well, it was 50 degrees today and the sun was shining. I called Craig and left him a message gently suggesting that it would be a great opportunity to get a Christmas tree. As I recall, last year we spent Christmas Eve with beach towels under our tree to soak up the melting ice before we could decorate! This has to be a record for the Green clan. Craig did find a great tree, and he is VERY picky when it comes to trees! The kids enjoyed decorating and Molly enjoyed taking all the decorations back off! We have been blessed with so many great gifts.
