It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

We got to meet Santa at the library!
 

Our first time watching the Nutcracker was fabulous - despite Trajan yelling "I'm hungry" at the top of his lungs during the second act :)  All the boys now regularly practice their version of ballet, and Trajan grabs his sword to fight the Rat King at least three times each day.

We got our first winter storm - well before winter.  This was my car at work two hours after it started snowing. 

 This is what the SUV said on the way to work the next few days.  I think that's actually as low as it goes, as the thermometer at our house read negative 20.  We even had a frozen pipe to repair (which found me very willing to fall back on gender roles and let the guys crawl around under the house in the cold).

Setting up the Morabito Christmas Train is how we know the season is really here!
