no, i mean reallllly cold

tonight was one of those nights when we were all really glad to have a warm and cozy home. before morning it is supposed to drop down to around -36. so, for all my american friends...that's below zero....

em wanted no part in this photo...too busy with her nose in a crochet book. she's crafty.

this is where i was snuggled in for the evening. watched a little idol...loved the last guy. some multi-tasking occurred 'cause i read some "love in the time of cholera" too. it's a good winter book. and by the way. the tree is now out leaning on the front porch. baby steps.

the tree is still up

yeah, it's still standing there in the corner of the living room. all the other christmas stuff is stacked at the top of the stairs. but who cares really...i got to spend my morning with my favorite baby. he's such a good boy. and he's good looking too! we cuddled and sang together. helped me forget all the jobs that need doing. good to put things in perspective once in a while. housework vs love. hmmmm, that's a no brainer. wow. look at how cute he is! oh those cheeks! he didn't even notice or mind that i hadn't done my hair or make-up. (p.s. sweetbabyboy is my nephew...)
