Christmas Tree!





Yesterday was our family day!Some weeks its hard to find a day that we can just spend it together with out interruption. My husband works two jobs, and in his (our) free time we have been spending getting all of our firewood finished before snow ( which we finished the day before our first snow!)and trying to work on our addition to our house! We were looking forward to yesterday ALL week! We had planned on getting our Christmas tree, making cookies, making gingerbread houses, etc....it always seems that the "perfect plan" always has its loopholes!The kids have been fighting off colds for a week, and finally Friday night they both started feeling worse! So even though Sunday wasn't exactly how I pictured it in my mind, it was still a nice family day! We did go out and cut down our " Charlie Brown " tree from our property...and we did make cookies ( even though they didn't get decorated until today!)the gingerbread houses never even got started! But, I am just so thankful for a day with my family!I have always been one to plan my days and such...and I used to get so disappointed when it didnt go as how I thought it should..but over time, I have realized that you can't really plan a day when you have two small children! We still had a nice day! And I need to remember to cherish all these moments that we have together!
