Jealous yet?

I just wanted to show off the beautiful view from my window and one of the reasons I love it here! As the sun sets, just before it slips down behind the moutnains to the west and as long as its not hid behind the clouds, it shines across the valley onto the mountains in the east. Its one of my favorite views in the valley! I snapped this picture tonight just before the sun disappeared in the west. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE it here?!

Decorating the Christmas Tree

We put our tree up right after Thanksgiving and the boys had so much fun! Of course it took a lot of coaching to get them to put the ornaments on the tree rather then throw them at each other or hang them on their ears and toes. And by the time we were done the ornaments were all on the same four branches. Also, I found a record player here and bought a Christmas record at D.I. so we got to listen to old time favorite Christmas songs while decorating the tree. There's just something about that fuzz and crackel coming from the record player that makes me feel so warm and cozy! Jaxon keeps asking if it's still Christmas time and about a dozen times a day Linkon has to point out all the lights and the tree. I am so excited to share Christmas with these two little guys! They make everything so much more exciting and fun!
