Winter!

Wow. Hanukkah was here.  And it was awesome.  And it was also Thanksgiving, so we ate and ate and drank wine with the neighbors and opened presents every night and all was good.  And now it's really winter.

Sitting on the radiator, waiting for snow.

We did a gingerbread house last year and I've decided it's a must-do-tradition.  My favorite part is figuring out a way to include some of the kids' toys.  This year almost had an underwater Octonauts theme, but then I remembered I'm not that talented.
