Finally it feels like Christmas

Hooray! It's finally starting to feel like Christmas! I was worried there for a little bit--that we'd hit the New Year without it feeling much like Christmas, but then it all hit! Today, I was able to spend some time working on the homemade gift that I'll be giving my Sis, Tammy, for Christmas. The girls in my family are doing a homemade gift exchange this year, so it has been fun thinking about which project to choose, and I am looking forward to seeing what has been created by everyone else! Tonight Brooklynn made her (and Asher's) first ornaments for the tree. I am excited to accumulate all the handmade ornaments made by the kids over the years! I just think that they are precious. She did a great job, and I am amazed at how detailed she is at only two-and-a-half! While Brooklynn finished her ornaments, I baked Pear Crumble, with the Asian Pears that Nathan got from a client. And now the house smells wonderful! On top of the thoughts of gifts, decorating, and baking, we are even getting snow! Although the forecast for this weekend looks wretched in most parts, we'll take it for now. It's not every year that we can celebrate the holidays with snow!
