Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Peanuts, Turtles & Trees

We braved the frigid arctic air to watch the tree lighting at the Marietta Square last week.  Little Miss "C" loved listening to the school choir sing and asked later if she could be on stage and sing one day.   :-)

We had a friend over this week and Mommy had the bright idea of letting the kids play in the styrofoam peanuts that had come in a box that day.  It was hysterical!!!  By the time we were finished playing in the "snow" there were little pieces of white all over EVERYTHING - kids, cabinets, hair, walls, potty.  What fun...and thank goodness for canister vacuum cleaners!

 Little Miss "C" and Daddy had a special day at the Aquarium today!  Here are a few pics from their day.

 Breakfast with Santa at school this week was great, although I don't think Ben had a clue!  Little Miss "C" has told Santa that she wants a pink clock (and Santa didn't know that until this week...he thought he was finished shopping). 

Our little Elf.  Joy.

 

Next adventure - a Tree.  Mommy insists on a REAL Frasier Fir, and that's what Daddy picked out.  But when it came inside our house tonight at 8:45, Mommy insisted that it didn't SMELL or LOOK like a Frasier Fir.  After much protest a Douglas Fir (argh) tag was located.  The impostor tree is currently being returned and one very tired and frustrated Daddy is looking for ANOTHER "perfect" one. 
Sorry, honey.  I love you!
