Christmas cards, Coloring and Cold weather

My TinyPrints Christmas Card order arrived today! The box was on the front porch when I got home. Getting presents is fun! Even if it's not really a present and I knew what it was and had to pay for it...it's still fun! I love ordering from this company. I created and ordered the cards online and they arrived in 6 days! Sure it costs more than buying a box of Christmas cards from Walmart, but I love the personalized look to them. I realized today that the card I chose has a background called coastal breeze...I thought they were snowflakes. I think it's actually cotton blowing in the wind. Oh well..nobody will know...lol. I should be sending them out in the next couple weeks.

Amy is coloring with Jake now. She loves using crayons and is even holding it properly with her little hand. Here's some pictures:

They also have a giant pad of paper that I throw down on the living room floor with a couple of mason jars full of crayons and they color for about 30 minutes together. Pretty cute.

It's gotten cold....as far as cold goes on the coast. It was 1 degree on the way home from work today according to my car dash thermometer. It even snowed at the higher levels today making a very pretty view for the drive home. It's supposed to snow a little tomorrow as well, but then be sunny on Sunday. I guess I'll have to put up the Christmas lights that day. We might not get another day without rain before Christmas! Speaking of Christmas, I am going out with mom and Kristin tomorrow for the first Christmas-y event of the season. We are going for dinner and then to Glenda's Christmas Cottage. It smells so good in there...like mulled spices, and cider and cranberries. They have ornaments and decorations and unique gifts and things there. I'm hoping to find something for each of the kids as a keepsake. I can't wait!!
