christmas card picture

okay guys I need your help. I took some pictures of the girls yesterday for our annual christmas card. But, I can't decide so I need your input. I've given each picture a letter (e.g. choice a, choice b, etc). Choose which picture you like the most, for a christmas card, and send me an email (or comment it). Remember, for some folks this is the only time they will see them all year so it has to be good representation.

BTW, it would help if you gave me your reasoning behind your choice. If there is a tie it may be the tie breaker.

Thanks again.

November 13th - still snowing

There is really a lot of snow outside. It just isn't supposed to be like this on November 13th. The girls are so excited there are no words. They were up at seven this morning ready to suit up and go out. I told them they had to wait until 9:00 for the sake of our neighbors. In the meantime they got their gear ready. Hannah, being the little homemaker that she is, even put newspaper down by the doors so that when they came in with wet boots it wouldn't ruin the floor. Bless her little soul. They pulled out snowpants, mittens, hats, etc. and fought over what belonged to who. They put on long johns, warm socks, courdoroys, turtlenecks, wool sweaters. They sweated. We ate breakfast. Finally at 8:55 I could take it no more and I let them out. It is now 10:00 a.m. and they are still outside playing happily. After I write this I am going to get my own boots on and then I am going out to shovel. Did I mention that Gene is in Portugal? Oy.

First Snow

Well, it's November 12th and we've had our first snow in Chelmsford. It came before we even had time to rake! In fact, all the leaves aren't off the trees yet. The kids are so excited you'd think they grew up in Florida. Hannah has been home from school for 1 hour and she's already made the world largest snowball, a snowangel, eaten snow (looking out for the yellow stuff) and is now sipping her first cup of hot cocoa of the season. Of course, this snow is not going to help with the premature excitement for the holidays. We've already been listening to "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" since the leaves were still green. The snow will not help matters.

Well, I have to go suit them up again. Did I mention that Gene is busy sunning himself in Portugal?

Happy Holidays! (oops, I guess they're getting to me)
