Getting close to Christmas

We are definitely getting into the mood for Christmas; last weekend we went and collected a smallish tree, which the kids decorated in record time:



Lots of cookie-baking recently; Amy and Lydia made three batches (cutouts, some sort of chocolate thing, and then peanut-butter cookies with Hershey's kisses on top) and I did nut bars with Lydia. I am not as good at making them as my mom, but at least they come out tasting something like the way they are supposed to.

Also: snow! This morning we woke up to another 8 inches or so of the white stuff. Very powdery unfortunately, so no prospects for snowballs or snow forts. The kids did their other favorite game, which is to make a huge snow mound and then tunnel through it:


 
 

Ok, maybe a little too much snow at this point. Time to head in side and warm up:
