Ahhhh, Winter in Canada! haha! It actually looks worse than it is. Wayne got out the snowblower to clear the driveway and blew it all into a big pile for Will to have at it. He spent hours working on this thing. Pretty cool, huh?
Aren't they cute? Yes, they are wearing matching outfits. I couldn't help myself and Will is still young enough to go along with it so I better take advantage of it. This will be what they will wear for Christmas.
This is us in the middle of decorating the tree. Shortly after it was taken, the tree fell over. And yes, it's real. So water, needles and ornaments were everywhere. Wayne managed to come up with some McGyver contraption to keep it up - we hope!Zanna's highly amused to have a tree in our house as Mom is the queen of faux trees. I can't keep anything alive for long (thankfully, I've had better luck with my children). But I can't let go of the fresh pine tree that I only have to water for a month. However, after yesterday's fiasco we may have to revisit that one.
It's kinda funny because Will wants to hang up his ornaments and I can't seem to unwrap them fast enough. But then they're mostly mine anyway - Rachel 1978, Rachel 1981, etc engraved on many of them. He gets pretty disgusted. Zanna did great - I thought she'd be a pain quite honestly. She hung up the ones we gave her (although I had to go back later and redo them as they had all fallen off!) and was surprisingly calm but excited about the whole thing. And as we don't "do" Santa in our house, she's convinced the Santa at Walmart that sways his hips and sings carols is Noah. Too funny!!
Will had an exciting week - he played Joy to the World on his violin at the retirement home and at church on Sunday and did such a good job. This was his idea - I was so nervous for him but he was quite confident. I wish I performed that well and steady! What a lovely way to serve his Lord and use his talents for Him. God bless him!
