The Christmas Life: December 22, 2008

1.  The boys' heads may blow off with excitement.

2.  I have this funky little tree Ernie got me a couple of years ago and since my mother wasn't getting a tree this year we brought it over to her house.  Yesterday we left the boys over there while we did errands and told them they could decorate it for her.  We got back and my mother was just kind of staring at it.  I told Leo (as he did most of it) how absolutely gorgeous it looked and kissed him, sweet little Christmas boy that he is.  Then I glared at my mother and told her she didn't have the Christmas spirit.  We giggled.  I think she'd been expecting something a little more Country Living-esque.  I told her Dad would have loved it and she wholeheartedly agreed and we giggled some more.

and on another note....I guess Champaign's new policy of not salting secondary roads doesn't really make any difference as they always ignored our road anyway....

I'm finally feeling Christmassy guys.....thanks to all....
