As we ran to do a week's worth of stuff in one day before we left for the holiday, we realized we had a problem: snow. I had to do a few errands, including shipping a number of orders. I could barely see. And if it's bad in a metro, you know it's going to be horrific in lower MN and IA. So we stayed home and in for two days.
My husband and I spent some quality time together watching a bunch of DVR'd shows and the kids got to play with birthday and Christmas presents. While in the middle of all this, I caught myself staring out the window at this beautiful sight. I like to think that my poor artificial tree is slightly jealous of real evergreens. And I like being able to see real evergreens even though we can't have them in the house.
It's my kind of quiet Christmas.
