Sorry for the long gap between posts - I got sick with strep on Thanksgiving weekend and it really knocked me out. I'm done with the antibiotics now and starting to feel human again - hopefully this was my sole awful sickness this winter!
Sickness notwithstanding, we have had a delightful few weeks enjoying the start of winter. We've done a little skiing, a little ice skating, some decorating, and have definitely enjoyed the start of the Advent season.
We got a jump start on decorating this year and put up our tree Thanksgiving weekend. The kids took a very active role in decorating this year, which was really fun up until they started knocking down 2 ornaments for every 1 they hung - that's when we decided that the tree was probably sufficiently ornamented.

| The two weirdos regard each other - Ben and Gonzo have so much in common |
 |
| Sam orchestrates the ornament distribution |
 |
| Time to hang the ornaments! |
 |
| WanYing was our master decorator - she stayed with it to the bitter end! |
 |
| Ben prefers the clippy ornaments to the hanging ornaments (I have to agree) |
 |
| WanYing was very excited to hang her First Christmas ornament up again |
 |
| And Sasha, as usual, was the most enthusiastic of the bunch! |
 |
| Sam assembles the train track, WanYing hides under the tree. No, we don't get it, either. |
 |
| Fa la la la la! |
Sasha was so proud of our decorated tree that she insisted on showing it off to Mandy. In retrospect, this may have been a mistake as the tree fell over a few nights later and we're all very suspicious about Mandy's role in the CATastrophe. Never dull, never dull.
