It was -6 degrees the day we cut our tree. There is a little more snow today. Marie and Jack had to go back to the car early. Rosa never made it out of the car. I gave Sam my coat while I was sawing the tree. Just before it came down I looked over at Sam and asked if he wanted to push it over on the last cut. Sam was shivering and had ice hanging from his nose. He was glad for the opportunity to move around, and to push over the tree.
The boys and I made sugar cookies for St.Nick. Our little elves, who are in dire need of a wardrobe and sizing update, put the sugar and stamp on the cookies. A good picture of Jack and Rosa. They have been taking naps together with Marie. Marie has been sneaking out early and taking a few pictures of them sleeping together.
