I spent this snowy afternoon putting the lights on the tree. I am not sure how many I managed to squeeze on the tree this year since I think that some of the strings may have been one hundred fifty count strings and others one hundred but I used three strings of white lights and six strings of multi colored. Tomorrow Kate, Matt, Patrick and I will put on the ornaments.

Snow!Since I started working outside of the house snow is not my favorite thing. But on a Saturday afternoon with both fires roaring and no place to go it is not so bad.

Tonight we went to buy our Christmas tree(s). Ian, Christy and Oliver, Kate and Matt and Patrick and I went to the tree lot that we have been buying our tree from for about eighteen years. I thought we would be buying a tree from our home and that Ian and Christy would be getting one for theirs. We left the lot with three trees. Kate and Matt decided to purchase their first tree together and put it in our basement.

Christmas photos take two.
The girls are definitely not interested in posing for photos lately. Today's attempt at Christmas photos was better than last time but I still think we can do better. The problem is that we are running out of time since the photos are suppose to be for their Christmas cards. Instead of trying to get the girls to pose today I just set up the little tree and rocking chair put them in their dresses and clicked while they did their own thing. I can not imagine doing this all day with kids I do not know in a department store. The pictures above are the ones I liked with the book in them. If I could just get them to make eye contact with the camera. I need a second person to get their attention. They are way too use to seeing me with the camera in their faces.
