Some of you know that I write a Christmas poem each year. I usually send it out in Christmas cards, but as my family grows, I'm unable to send the cards to my friends. So for all you friends that didn't get a card, it's not because I don't love you and wish you well, it's because I can't make more cards. Please know that I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and I'll post my poem so it can be enjoyed :-)
Twas a month before Christmas and I'm here at home,
Once again composing my Holiday poem.
I hope you're healthy and you've had a good year,
May this season give you much festive cheer.
Naomi is four now, growing with great speed!
This year she's even starting to read.
She still loves dinosaurs and learning their names
She'll grow up to be a dog trainer, or so she claims.
Michael's still working and going to school.
Luckily he doesn't have to use a slide rule!
He's just had a birthday, the big 30 this year,
We celebrated with his family, all quite dear.
I'm much the same, stay at home mother.
But I'm very happy, wouldn't have it any other.
I like making crafts and keeping a scrapbook,
I love reading too, especially with my nook!
Pets we have four of, 2 fish and 2 cat,
Very sadly this year, we lost our dear rat.
Milo and Demi aren't sure of each other,
It's a good thing Naomi acts as Milo's mother.
I'll leave you now and finish this poem,
Wrap up those presents, decorate the home.
Remember that Santa will come any day.
Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy Holiday!

Snow :-)
My camera had an unfortunate accident involving a certain 4 year old and a cat hidy hole, so no pictures...sorry :-(
We got snow! I love snow, I don't like driving in it, I don't even necessarily like playing in it, but it is beautiful.
Naomi was thrilled, she immediately asked to go out and play in it. For anyone who has kids, you know the drill. You suit them all up, the thick socks, the snow pants, trying to keep the long sleeved shirt sleeves down while putting on the jacket, the mittens, the hat, the boots.... Your kid can barely move, they shuffle out into the snow, play for 15 seconds and then are freezing and want back in. Or, alternatively, they need to pee. She did actually come back to the door to yell that she wanted in and I told her that if she came back in she was done for the day (I know, bad Mama!), so she gave me the Naomi look and went back out to play again. She had a blast throwing snowballs at the house! I'm pretty sure she ate quite a bit of snow and she ran around in it. We were lucky enough that the store stayed around for 2 days without getting slushy and icky, so she played in it the next day too.
As much as I like the snow, I'm glad that it is melting today. Michael has to go back to work tomorrow, so I'm glad that his commute will not be hindered by slippery roads or NM drivers.
I probably won't write again before Christmas, so I hope you all have a wonderful week! Be safe and take a moment (or two, or three) to enjoy your family and this time of year!
