Fresh eggs & Christmas

fresh-eggsI’m not sure you can call them fresh, but they taste fine.  The kids found 48 eggs in the woodpile, laid by a few wayward hens.  Levi thought I should take a photo, so I did.

AND…

It’s snowing.  May as well enjoy it.  The twinkly lights are being hung, Christmas cookies are being baked and gifts wrapped. 

I tell the kids this morning:

“I’m so excited, this is your last day of school, tomorrow it’s Christmas Break, WOOHOO!”

Sabra rolls her eyes and says:

“Duh, mom, it’s just the weekend”

What a spoilsport that child is.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
