Deck the Halls

My aunt in Texas called me the other day to see how I was doing. She mentioned that I hadn't been writing many blogs lately and wanted to make sure that I was okay. The biggest reason I haven't written many blogs lately is because I've been sleeping better the past month or so. Since I usually write most of my blogs in the middle of the night, I haven't been awake in the middle of the night to write them. It nice to be sleeping a little better, but I'm sad that I don't have many entries from the last month. I may try to catch up on a few things, but maybe not. I'll start with tonight.
We are back in the basement. We moved down last Saturday which worked out good because we moved before it snowed. There are actually a few things I miss about living upstairs, but it's nice to be back in our own space. And unless we find a great deal on a house, we will be hibernating down here until the snow melts.
Tonight we put up our Christmas tree.





Chad and I just sat amazed and watched Ben put all the ornaments on the tree. He placed all the ornaments spaced apart perfectly.

And Jack enjoyed taking the ornaments off the tree almost as quickly as Ben put them on.





For dessert we had waffle cones with homemade vanilla cranberry ice cream. I borrowed this waffle cone maker from my friends at Leatherby's to make waffle bowls for a church activity. (I needed to make 80 of them and my sweet husband made all of them for me so I could make candy.) We had some mix left over, so he made waffle cones tonight. This makes the house smell soooooooo good and it smells good for a couple of days.







Aren't these boys cute?!
