Deck the Halls...

So this is it! The tree we traveled out to the country for...tromping through the mud...dragged up a hill...and plunked into our house. It was worth it! (Even though I still have 6 pairs of muddy shoes waiting to be cleaned in the garage.) :-)

Someone came by our house a few days ago selling mistletoe. So, of course, Greg couldn't resist! The kids think it is a very intriguing object. We told them that you had to kiss the person who walks under it if you catch them. They proceeded to run around for a half hour after that...with lots of "ahh she's trying to kiss me" action. And, "she tried to kiss me on the lips". We explained they couldn't kiss each other on the lips. And, in general, they couldn't kiss anyone else on the lips till they are 18. :-) But they were told that if an auntie or a grandma came by...then they could plant one on them. So, be warned if you come to our house...watch carefully for the mistletoe!
