holiday moods

My kids have been in the best moods lately. Every day at school is "the best day ever" and the overall mood in the house is plain old jolly! With treats to nibble on all day, a paper chain link to cut off, and freshly fallen snow who can blame them? Christmas is in the air! Even adults like me can feel it now, so it must be pretty thick. Sometimes I wish I was five again and could past time waiting for Christmas by throwing on my best dress up garb, some wings, a reflection contest medal and bounce around the house to Christmas music.  Instead I will settle for checking off my Christmas to-do list  while watching the magic of Christmas in my kids care-free lives. It makes my to-do list worth it.....every bit of it!  Speaking of that to-do list. It is pretty much done. So today I think I will be care-free for a few hours and hit the slopes with my holiday honey. It is a Christmasy thing to do! You all should try it and get your Christmas ON.

Enjoy that fresh snow. I finally have come aboard the Christmas winter train (put all dreams of a tropical Christmas aside) and am embracing the snow. Wish I could say the same for Luke.

That picture is great! So are the swiss christmas ones. After looking at your pictures of Ellie I realize that I way overdid Cecily's make up for the event. Oh well - It was fun.
P.S. Cecily is here as I read your blog and she saw the pictures of Ellie posing with her leg and arms up and she said that her dancing was pretty. And that it was "better" than hers.
P.S. Did you get passes to Sundance again this year?
