Oh, the weather outside is frightful and getting cold

Last night we went outside and put up our Christmas lights and the neighbors joined us. Ann Marie who lives next door gave all the kids hats which her mother had made and they are adorable. The kids love them and have worn them ever since. They wore them until baths last night, then put them on again this morning while we put up the Christmas tree and just took them off for naps. They are sleeping now and I'm enjoying the quiet. I am soooo excited the Christmas season is upon us. We drove around after dark last night and let the kids look at lights while listening to Christmas music. It was magical and perfect!!!!
