Felix Family Christmas Party

Cute kids:











Epic Dodge Ball



After a couple weeks on the counter, I finally tossed the masterpieces that were our gingerbread houses. Here are the pictures for posterity.

Lily's preschool Christmas program

Lily's school had a singing program. They sang a few Christmas songs and some other songs they had worked on. It was your basic cute program.





After the program Santa showed up in their classroom. Once Lily realized that she might have to sit on Santa's LAP, she started crying. Here she is being scared to death of Santa.

Cold!!

I can't believe how cold it has been lately. It's been close to 0 every morning. I feel a little bad for Aaron walking to school, but it's only 5 minutes and it would probably take longer than that with the crazy traffic of everyone else taking their kids to school.

So he bundles up--been wearing boots, snow pants, coat, gloves, stocking cap, and hood. They have been having indoor recess because of the cold. So yes, the heating bill is going to be horrendous, but I'd rather have it cold and sunny than having to deal with driving in more snow.

Mike drove to work earlier this week and saw a car in front of him driving sideways across the road, then the car right in front of him did a 360! He stopped in time, luckily. Next time it is like that, I'm going to insist he works from home. I was really hoping we'd be moved by now so he wouldn't have another whole winter of driving up there in the snow.

New tree--finally!

So here's the new tree with it's usual hodge-podge of decorations. I had to convince Lily we couldn't use ALL of the tree decorations we have, or it might look even crazier. I think it is a foot taller than our old tree so we'll probably have to get some more matching ornaments (or "ordaments" as Lily says). Though the kids don't care if they match or not.

I found this at Target and really liked it but they were out--so we stopped by Home Depot, and even Wal-Mart, but didn't like any there. There was another one I liked at Lowes, but it was also sold out. Finally Aaron and I went to the Target in Sandy and got the one I liked from the first Target. So it was quite the trek to get it.
