We are so organized for Christmas. The tree is up, the house is decorated, enough cookies baked if I decide I am done. The yard is decorated in nice festive bows and red ornaments. We have snow and some very dangerous ice. We have Christmas movies and music. All we need now is my oldest son home and my husband off work.
Today Gingerbread cookies were made and the last of the presents wrapped. I attended a very nice Christmas concert with my youngest son. He is playing the trumpet nice and loud!
We still have an ice rink. I hope to clear off the snow tomorrow and put a fresh coating of water over it.
Now I need to try very very hard to stay up until at least two thirty in the morning. My youngest daughter should be home by then she is on a school trip. I am sooo not even going near the bed!!!

We had an amazing snow storm today. It did not last too long but a lot of snow fell for a bit. It was very pretty. Funny time here Rain and wind in the night. Ice! so much ice in our yard deadly to walk on. We have a a busy time. Christmas tree hunting and the day out driving, Christmas shopping, Secrets, giggles, singing , laughing, baking cookies, eating chocolates and Birthday cake.
Today I put a few more decorations and baked some short bread. Right now we are putting a plate together for our bus driver.
My goalie has had very bad back ache today and yesterday. I have had him soak in Epsom salts.
Today our phone must have rung fifty times it was going on all day.
Well off to make some supper and ice some cookies.

This is a very, very bad Bull. His name is Bully and he is driving me crazy. He is wrecking everything!
Today we went to finish our Christmas shopping. It actually was not really that busy in the mall. What is amazing is the sales the stores are offering it is usually after Christmas when the stores give deals.
We had a hockey game also. Then tomorrow we are off to find our tree. However I am wondering how far we will be able to go it is really snowing out there.

No Snowflake ever falls in the wrong place. - Chinese proverb
Next time Snow is falling in your area take a close look, see each unique design and take pictures.
We still have snow however it is now covered with ice, very dangerous walking ice. And, our rink is still soooo good.
This weekend is our Christmas tree hunt. Can't wait.
