It's the most wonderful time of the year!


Sylvie (with chocolate ice cream all over her face), Lucia and Marco getting ready to decorate the tree.















Happy Holidays! The season is here. Good thing Christmas is in the winter because it brightens up the gloominess all around us. We started our countdown to Christmas yesterday by getting out our chocolate advent calendars (Marco already ate most of the chocolates out of his) and going to get our tree. Lucia and Marco were especially well behaved yesterday so we could go get the tree and decorate it last night. It was freezing outside as we looked through the fake trees at Wal Mart. I don't remember winter being this cold last year! They got to bed a little bit later than usual and had a hard time getting up this morning. But, isn't that what the season is all about? Being together and carrying on traditions with your family? Sylvie has been undecorating the tree all day and I've been hanging them back on the tree-above her little reach. We have lots of things scheduled, but will try to have the quiet moments together at home as well. May you all enjoy the holidays!

Looks like you had a fun time. Remembering all the fun times we had over the years when you kids were growing up! Enjoy and cherish every moment...even the "un-decorating of the tree" by Sylvie! It all goes by so fast. Love you!
