And So It Begins

The cold weather has hit and I'm not too pumped about it. I hate, hate, hate the cold and snow. I hate driving in it, I really hate playing in it, I hate how it can all of a sudden snow in May. Snow and I are not friends what so ever. I seriously think it should only snow on Christmas Day and that's it, but I have to deal with it and right now I am dealing with it. It has been sooo cold this last week and I can just feel  a big snow storm coming really soon. That was one good thing about living in the Philippines was that it never snowed. I can handle the heat and the rain but not snow. Oh well. On a brighter note today the girls and I are going to start decorating the house for Christmas! I love Christmas and we've got a few things planned for the holidays so I can't wait. This year we are going to take the kids on a sleigh ride at Hardware Ranch so that should be fun. I told Brandon we will make sure the kids are all bundled up so they won't be to cold. I think Brock would totally love it because we get to see Elk. We are going to watch Christmas movies all together as a family at least once a week or so. I have a Christmas book that we read a story once a day all the way until Christmas Day. I started that last year and the girls want to do it again this year. I am going to make sure that I keep the Christmas Spirit instead of being all grumpy at the store because there are never ever ever people working at Walmart and you have like 4 people ahead of you. I am going to try to not yell at people in my head because they will not move and are just standing in the middle of the aisle staring at the toys. Ok I may get mad at those two things but I want to make sure that my kids know that Christmas isn't about getting presents it's about family, friends, giving, helping. I want to make sure that my kids know that there are others that are less fortunate and don't get to have Christmas. Hopefully I can teach my kids that and they will understand. Bring on the Christmas music and Christmas decorations.
