The day after Turkey day, we put up our Christmas tree. Quite to my surprise (and delight), the big kids were VERY helpful. In years past, their "help" was very disastrous and tree decorating was stressful. But not this year! We put our tree in our new basement, turned on some tunes and had a wonderful afternoon.
This year the kids received a basket of presents. I knew couldn't be dedicated (or creative) enough to do a 25 days till Christmas....so we are doing "every Friday till Christmas". The kids get to open a gift on every Friday night until Christmas.
Our first Friday present was new Christmas jammies (that way they get to wear them all Christmas season).

Don't we look excited???

On Saturday, we headed up to Brighton Ski Resort. Tim and the big kids headed up the mountain first thing in the morning. Georgia and I went right before lunch. I didn't ski on this first time up the mountain. Instead I was "ski support". I brought lunch, held mittens, took kids potty and took pictures. We knew Georgia wouldn't last all day, so we left after she did a few runs.
We made our traditional stop at 7-11 and got Slurpees on the way home. Everyone slept well that night!!
