Tonight, A was stalling at bedtime and we indulged him for awhile because he was being so funny. He likes to turn off all the lights in the house except the Christmas tree - "the most beautiful light." Then he made the three of us sit on the couch in the dark and look at the tree. Then he stood in front of the tree and told us some Christmas stories. First he told us about the "Elks" making toys for Santa, who brought them in his sleigh to the kids and grown ups. Then Santa got bored and went back to the North Pole. Then we asked him to tell the REAL Christmas story. He knew it. Complete with Baby Jesus, Shepherds, Angels, Good News and all that. The funniest was when he was telling about the angels' arrival. He says, "And then...KAZAM, the angels appeared." He cracks us up!
Here's a cute random picture of Tiny E who was sleeping in her crib during the Christmas stories

On another note - looks like we're getting snowed in again. A blizzard is kicking up tonight. We were to go to a Christmas party, but stayed in because A had a snotty nose and headache. We were glad we did. The news just told us there have already been 40 accidents and the Interstate is closed, and the storm started just a few hours ago. It's supposed to last until tomorrow night. The wind chill tonight is forecast for 40 below! 45 below tomorrow night! BRRRR! This is a cool shot T took out the back door tonight.

A is such a talker (and always has been). I can't wait till Noah can talk better.
And you guys don't seem to be able to get enough snow. Terry's mom got snowed in at Sturgis and ended up working an 18hr shift... Crazy.
