Vacation is here!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

We made it to vacation time. I am relearning how to relax, and the kids are enjoying the dry weather by playing outside. Paul gets to work until midday on Christmas Eve. We have had little time for making goodies, but we did manage to make some chocolate covered pretzels. Yum! Yes that is chocolate on their faces.

Here what our tree used to look like. It is has been thoroughly attacked by Ella the cat now. All the decorations have been knocked off. The lights are still on, but that is only because they are wrapped around the tree.


Eliza went wild decorating. She did the front and back side of her bedroom door, cut a piece of hedge from our neighbor's yard, placed it in her room for a Christmas tree and decorated it, and created a faux fireplace with several stockings.

Jordyn got such a kick out of the kitten in the tree! She was SO excited that I'd gotten back to blogging again. It was a rather rough summer, but I'm really hoping to keep up with things better now!
SO great to see the kids again! They are growing up SO fast!!

i can't believe how insane Ella is! The craziest thing our cat will do is sleep on dining room chairs. :) And I'm glad that we have a boring cat, though it is fun to read about your crazy cat. I still remember seeing your shower curtain tore right in half at Thanksgiving!
