Twas the week before Christmas

Twas the week before Christmas, all the creatures are stirring, even the mouse..... The neighbor kids are sleigh riding, All around the house...LOL and we love it. There is such a nice feeling in spite of the job thing that we both feel lucky to live where we are free and able to think and believe in what we want to.It is soooo pretty here to me with the nice clean snow. Jan has been making cinnamon suckers and caramel today and it smells wonderful. We are anxiously waiting as Katie is for Shane to come home. We are so glad to have Chris and Bryce here with us at this this year too.
Bryce is moving around a little faster and Amanda has to return to work thursday. She still is only eating thro a straw. Hope she isn't going back too fast.

Chris did this video of Tammy's Surprise Birthday Party at our house and it was put on Utube..
