Our favorite time is here! Decorating the tree, sipping cider, hot chocolate, watching Christmas movies and filling the weekend with family traditions. We had an exhausting weekend of events, but we were able to tie in our traditions throughout the weekend of 8 hours long basketball tournaments and negative temperature tree hunting! :)
We are thrilled with the outcome this year! I was just about to admit I would never use the darling black metal mirrors I purchased years ago...but then I realized how nicely they would pop out on the tree to attract with the scottish plaid style skirt I use every year! Perfect!

Malcolm got to put the angel on the tree this year too! To make things even sweeter...the chicken I thawed didn't cooperate and sat in the fridge stubborn and icy, so the kids enjoyed waffles and scrambled eggs for dinner! Now there is a treat!!!
