Christmas 2013

 This is a little kitchen set that I mad for Eliza.  I made it her style and I was surprised how much she liked it.  It isn't perfect but she has played with it.  She was so greatful for it.
 We cut down our tree again this year and it was so great.  It was a large tree and it was a perfect day to cut down a tree. 
 We had a great Christmas.  The kids got a lot of fun toys.  Fenton got a stuffed jaguar and a tent building kit and new boots and shirts.  Carter got Mr. Potato head, and Eliza got the kitchen set, but the best they got a mini trampoline downstairs.  They can go down stairs and jump to their hearts content.  I got new shoes and new tools. 
We have gotten so much snow this year.  we have been shoveling almost every day.  We got a huge storm at the beginning of January and we have had the snow for 5 weeks.  It hasn't melted.  We have had a new type of storm called a Polar Vortex and it is bringing polar weather to the US and really has screwed up the whole north east.  We have had 10 days of below zero weather.  We have had 4 days off school.  It has so bitter cold and unbarable.  When it is in the 20 we are excited and can go out with out getting frost bit.  We are having another storm right now.  Other places in the country have had 8-10 days off school since Christmas.  It has been a horrible winter and it is only the beginning of February.

Your Christmas looks so fun! Just wish that we could have spent another Christmas together. For SURE in 2014!
I TOTALLY appreciate your cold and snow situation. It affects everything including school. But its so hard when EVERYONE is cooped up in the house and can't get any fresh air without freezing their nose hairs. Dig out the cards and the movies!!
