There's the spirit

After this weekend, there's no doubt that holiday spirit has overtaken our house.

We celebrated an early Christmas with family, watched the kids in their church holiday program -- followed by screwdrivers and hot Italian beef -- and closed off the weekend sledding in the park.


I ask you, can they get any cuter?

As we were nearing bedtime last night, The Deuce suddenly remembered something special she had tucked away in her backpack: a time capsule ornament.

In her words...

It's an ornament. I made it. Inside on the little pieces of paper are notes about my life now and what I want to do when I grow up. Some day, on Christmas, I'll smash it open with my cane and read what I wrote way back in 2009.



Yep, she plans to crack that baby open with her cane. Because, obviously, she'll be an old lady and will walk with a cane.

It just doesn't get any better than this.

The best ornament idea ever. I was rolling when I read what she said about it. Your children are adorable (and sharp). Happy holidays. Amiee
