We are ending 2015 in style. We've had a great month of December. My Dad came over last weekend and got us a tree as he does every. It's kind of become a tradition. The kids love to go with Grandpa "Harry" (as they call him, but that's a story for another day) to pick out their tree. I think he likes it too. The kids went crazy with the decorating. They are so darn cute and they make Christmas fun again. They are so excited for Christmas they can hardly stand it. Macie even got into it this year. She doesn't quite realize that you have to put the hook on the tree, but she put the decoration in the tree though.
A couple days after setting up for Christmas we had a snow storm. Ben and Natalie mad it out to shovel the walks for. After all that hard work was done it looked like he needed to go out and shovel again because the snow wouldn't stop coming. It was good for him and Natty though. They got a little daddy-daughter time together.
We have also been doing our best to keep up with the house so that it is clean for Santa Claus. We've run into a few distractions though, namely Macie Jo. Ben was trying to vacuum the stairs and that little stinker kept going in front of him and laying across the stairs so that he couldn't vacuum it. She thought she was so funny.
With all this snow my sister, Chelsie, had this genius idea to take the cousins out to the hills at the university and go sledding. Macie was a little skeptical, but didn't mind watching. Everyone had a great time. We ended the evening by eating homemade chili and sipping on hot cocoa.
