Tis the season to ...

It's that time of year!  When the cold seems to get under the skin, not just bite it.  When the days are about 4 hours long.  When eating poorly is OK because all clothes are pretty puffy anyhow.  And when cheer equates to sitting on Santa's lap (for the kids, not the grown ups!) and shopping frenzy.  This past weekend Matt's parents were in town and we soaked the holidays in.  We (aka, Don and Matt) covered our house with lights, we cooked, cleaned, and were merry, and we paid a visit to Santa. 

There were no tears at this year's Santa sitting, but the merryment didn't really come until the boys got to check out the train.
