Bryant Dancing

Byrant is a great dancer. He has got some serious moves. Stake dances are going to be a hoot.

Botanical Gardens Christmas Display

Last Wednesday we met up with Amy, Tyler, and their kids in D.C. to visit the U.S. Botanical Gardens. They put together an elaborate Christmas display that is a must see. The pictures I took didn't turn out awesome, but I'll share them anyway.

Let it snow!

Between Friday night and Saturday night we received 24-30 inches of snow.

Faifax County Public Schools announced closures for the entire week (we were supposed to have school through Wed.).

Merry Christmas to us!

Naughty List

Yesterday Alice and Bryant had the following conversation about Santa's naughty list.

Bryant: Alice, you're going to be on the naughty list.

Mom: that's not a nice thing to say.

Bryant: I know. Benjamin told me I be on the naughty list, and I'm freaking out.

Alice: What does "freaking out" mean?

Bryant: It's like when you're sad and you get frustrated and stuff.

Alice: No, it means like you're frustrated and can't hold your temperature (temper:)).

We have to love these rugrats of ours.

Chopping wood

Bryant and I chopped some wood for a fire tonight. Having a working fireplace is a real plus at this house. Snow is forcast for Saturday.

Time Flies

Life is good. Time is flying and I can't get enough done. The weather today is in the 60's and it is sunny and beautiful--I hope sorta hope there is snow for Christmas but for now I'm sure happy.
