SNOW, AND OUR CHRISTMAS TREE!

It snowed yesterday! I was so excited! It started while I was going from store to store trying to find Matt his favorite multi-symptom medication (he's coming down with something, the poor darling! LOL). As night grew, the snow fell even heavier, covering the grass, the vehicles, and the rooftops. I stayed inside, but the girls went out and played in it for a little while.

The UPS people delivered our tree LATE in the evening, but we weren't angry at all! The girls were so happy, they were cheering and waving goodbye to the drivers as the truck drove off. You would think that Santa delivered the tree to us, the way those girls were cutting up! LOL

Poor Maya....she went to get her jacket and shoes so that she could go outside, and running inside the house, she tripped over a box, fell and hurt her legs. She was crying and humiliated, LOL, but once I gave her a couple of big hugs, cleaned her scratches and put band-aids on them, she was fine. I always will love that about Maya. She is the only one of my three girls that welcomes some "motherly comfort" when she hurts herself. My other two are just like me, tough as nails. LOL



Here's what's left of the snow this morning.....



Still some on the top of the car.....



A few flakes on the windshield......



Maya standing next to Nicolette's "snowman"....LOL



Here's the tree with the lights off.........



And with the lights on.

I wanted to make sure that the tree didn't look "dime store tacky." Here are a few of the "fancy" ornaments I put on the tree:



Beaded gold balls......



Bells.....



Teddy Bears......



And large gold balls.

It even looks great in the daytime!
