We've had great snow in the past week - Madelyn went sledding with her friends Leah and Benji over T-day weekend. And, we got out and about one night around the neighborhood via sled to scout holiday lights. They're just starting to trickle on around here...
Michael and Madelyn set up the Christmas tree this week - it was fun to look through all of the ornaments and find all of our personal favorites and tell Maddie the stories behind them. Most have come from Michael's grandma, and a few are from my childhood. My current favorite is a cardboard tree that my brother made at age 5 - it's decorated with random uncooked pasta squiggles (featured in the bottom of the picture of Madelyn with tree). There appear to be a few missing, which make me think that one of us picked them off and crunched them up as a kid:) LOVE that "genre" of Christmas ornaments!
Other big news - we said goodbye to our little Lady Bug (Subaru Impreza)... the first item of joint ownership we ever had, before we were even married! Alas, it was too small for us at this point in life, and starting down the slippery slope of becoming a money pit. Michael did a load of research and came up with a beauty - a 2009 black Subaru Forester! Needless to say, we feel like it's a MASSIVE upgrade, stylish beyond reason! Oh so spacious and sleek looking! WIll get pictures up at some point...
2 and a half more weeks of school until Break! Let the countdown begin!
