Deep Freeze 08: Day 3! (aka- The Wise Men)

Today, (Tuesday) was an inside day. The kids woke up at Nana's, Joel and I at home. Joel decided he needed to go to work today, so Nana kindly let him drive her car- it has snow tires at least. I am sure he was just trying to lessen my worrying about him driving on treacherous roads, but he swore they weren't bad at all. Huh.

After he left and I got myself cleaned up, I took a long walk- to the grocery store for some hot cocoa for my mom's house, to Safeway to visit the Starbucks, and then to my mom's to share the loot and see my babes.

And what to my wondering eyes should appear?

The wise men. My mom has a theme each year for her Christmas card. Last year, was Hark the Herald Angels Sing, remember? When I walked in her house that day, my 3 angels were singing at the top of their lungs. Well, today they were in their silk and satin (yes, even the boys), and working on their crowns. Here is a peek for you . . .


Looking up at the star of Bethlehem!

Carter, trying to look up with his eyes, not his whole head. (This picture makes me laugh until I cry almost every time I look at it.)


And while I was trying to get this shot:

I went over . . . and this is what happened:

I am dying laughing just thinking about it. Sorry, Mom!

After the photo shoot, the kids put up the nativity.
