And yes it must be said, I can't believe Christmas is in less than a week! I love this time of year. I was quite nervous to put up our tree (as this year I have two little ones instead of one little one), but my kids haven't touched it. They must have thought I was serious when I told them "no touching the tree or else!" One of the best purchases I have ever made is the tree skirt under my tree. It has jingle bells all around it, so if the boys get near the tree I get a warning to let me know and this also helps keep the kids away. I haven't been brave enough to wrap presents under it though. Last year Benson wouldn't even unwrap his gifts because he thought he might get the bust. It took a lot of convincing to finally get him to open his presents. Perhaps this year the opening of gifts will go better!
One more note: One of my favorite things about Christmas is of course, the music. The year before my grandma died, she spent Christmas with my family in Boise. She gave Keith and I a copy of "The Forgotten Carols." I so cherish this book and can barely sing a song without tissues. It may be one of my most prized posessions. If you do not have this book, you need it! Anyway, there is a song in the book that I love and the best line in it is:And for those of you who would like to know, my favorite Christmas song is "Last Christmas" by none other than, WHAM!

Yay for snow. Well, when it is convenient...:). I miss the snow sometimes. So, you know how Grandma gave you that book? Does it have the CD? Let me know.
ps- sweet job on the 30 dollar train table. I always tell Robbie if we find a good deal on something, it's cause we pay our tithing.
I like the tree and the skirt with bells is a great idea, I would hear jingling like every 5 minutes at my house. I wouldn't mind snow for a day, just one day. Thats a neat memory you have with Grams. She was pretty close to perfect in my eyes.
