Thin blanket of snow
This post is by request from my husband. Yes, he asked me if I would take a picture of his truck and post it where his dad could see it. 
There. Little Red now knows what it is like to be covered with snow. See the icicles hanging down? Poor Red must be cold, being so newly transplanted from the Golden State. But she didn't complain. She's a trooper.
Jim is staying home from work today, using up his vacation days that won't roll over to the new year. His plans are to possibly tape in the new sewing room to prep for painting. Those walls, being the walls of the former sleeping area of three boys, are in need of cleaning up. You can actually SEE the history of pretty much every cold, stuffed nose, sick stomach for 6 years (that's how old the old paint job is) and every picture that Matt cherished enough to tape onto the walls.
The Christmas tree is up, lit, and decorated. A few of my decorations are up around the house, but I think I'm missing a box or two. I am missing my wall hangings, most of the Christmas stockings, some tiny fake Christmas trees, and an assortment of wooden objects.
I am very tired. Fake child came early today, as she did yesterday, and I'm feeling the earliness in my bones. I might have to lie down again.

Also, snow! What a novel sight. I hope not to have that sight around here anytime soon.

Yes, Dad, I'm sure you would love to have her come for a long-term visit.
Fake tree=easy and fun for Hayley and Matt. And faster in general. I do miss the pine smell, but that only lasts a day or two anyway.
And I don't think I'll put your stocking up. I think I'll send it to you with something in it.
