I have been trying to update but when ever I find reasonable time to I always manage to get sidetracked somehow.
I have been feeling like a Scrooge despite everything, Christmas just doesn't do justice for me anymore at the moment since both of my parents passed away. I will eventually zap out of this funk, but my heart still aches for them, specially for my children.

I was stuck doing the unwrapping again, and Graham was only interested in them until after the goodies were reviled.
We woke up Christmas morning to find a breath taking surprise! It has snowed during the night, which left us with a very WHITE Christmas this year. It hasn't snowed on Christmas in the town of Tennessee I am located at in a very long time. The last I remember us having one I think I was in the seventh or eighth grade, maybe even before that?..I am unsure. But I did dress Graham up and took him outside to play in for a bit Even little miss Chloe Grey got into the action:
