Now, Hubs and I are day-after-Thanksgiving-time-to-put-up-the-tree people. But this year, we really wanted to go out into the woods and chop down our own tree. Unfortunately, the snow just kept coming so now we can’t even see the bottom three feet of the tree much less know where to chop it down. Thank you Grandpapa for getting the tree!
Today was long. We called our families this morning. That is always bittersweet. Selah kept saying “Haleigh” no matter who we were on the phone with. Hubs took Schäfer and Sianna to Chinese school this morning. It took everything we had to get them dressed and out the door. When they came home at lunch, we noticed that Schäfer was quite tired.

That was lovely and good. The kids had so much fun playing with a new friend. By 8pm, I was a zombie. My kitchen is flooded with dishes.

As always, this birthday party is a big deal to Schäfer, but it also collides with China’s three day break for Jan. 1. Lots of people go out of town so I’m going to check with the other MOm’s in his Chinese school class to even see if his friends are going ot be in town this weekend or if we should delay the party a week. Delay! Delay! But the longer we wait, the weather could get colder and I definately want to have a party for six-year-olds outside. Right? Fifty-six degrees isn’t so bad, right? The house was cold when I woke this morning. Hubs was already downstairs reading under a blanket. Schäfer was up by 7:15 dancing around the living room. Then he came to my room for snuggle. I love snuggle. Of course, he asked when we could open presents. I gave him the order [Continue reading 2012 December Daily :: 25 ::] Selah turned 2 today. The morning was a bit crazy.
