Whoa, It's Winter

Winter is upon us and we haven't blogged in a while. We had a fabulous winter break full of the traditional Chrismukkah celebration. You know, spinning dreidels, decorating trees, talking about Macabees, eating candy canes, frying latkes, giving and receiving presents. Nothing confusing at all. Hayden did have a very well-thought out fear of Santa. He pretty much thought of Santa's arrival in our house, via chimney, as a home invasion. He just didn't get why " that guy" would just come into our house. He also mentioned " not liking anything he says or how he looks". Apparently, ho, ho, ho, offends the boy. However, the presents seems to decrease his fears.
We spent break, skiing, going to the aquarium, purchasing a new fish; Shiny Tail Lazorchak, cleaning out closets, hanging new exterior lights and visiting with many of our friends and family.
So, we are back to the grind of school and work. ( school being work for some of us!) We are hoping for a BIG snow and a great ski season for the boys. ( I'll just take photos and drink hot toddies).
Happy Winter to all:-
