Christmas Time

It's starting to feel a little more like Christmas. Friday night we went to the Firemen's Christmas Party at The Beachhouse in Humboldt.

We were going to have some helpers on Sun. so Saturday night Bill brought up the Christmas tree - not his favorite thing to do. He really can't complain too much though. This tree is in just 3 sections and has the lights already on it. The branches just fall into place and need fluffing (my job).

Lacey was a good helper. We did what everybody does and put the ornaments that weren't our favorites on the back. With every one she would ask me "pretty or not pretty"?

We also made a Christmas treat. I don't know what they're called but you put peanut butter between 2 Ritz crackers and then dip them in white chocolate. For more fun, we added sprinkles to the top.

When Diane was little, we always made cut out cookies. One time she dumped over a whole jar of sprinkles that went everywhere on the carpeted dining room floor! She was pretty worried about it but I told her it wasn't a big deal (while saying to myself "great, what a mess"). We will probably neither one forget that but I bet the people that live in that house now still find some around the edges!

It's still white out from past snow and there have been flakes flying around most of the day today. Our temp. got down to 3 last night.
