December Days - 12.1.10

Last December I spent the month committed to posting pictures and thoughts each day about my experiences and my family's experiences during the holiday season.  My hope was that during the busyness and stress of the holiday season the commitment to take pictures and post some thoughts each day would force me to slow down to appreciate the season.  It worked so well, I've decided to do it again.  So, consider this an invitation to journey through the holidays with me and my family and check in on us each day.

It is sort of fitting that on the first day of December we would wake up to snow.  Although not the official start of winter, in my head winter doesn't really start until December.  So when the kids woke up today to a dusting of snow on the ground it was fun to watch how excited they were.  Kyron was the most excited, planning his afternoon of sledding and snow ball fights.  There wasn't nearly that much snow to warrant that type of planning, but eventually the snow excitement turned to just plain goofiness before school and Kyron had us all laughing to start our day.  It's that goof ball type of fun that makes Kyron so much fun and makes the rest of us smile whenever he's around.
