Frosted Window Panes and Topping the Tree

In spite of my previous scroogey post, our children have really been enjoying Christmas preparations this year. At 2, Nicholas is delighted by all the decorations and knows several Christmas carols. His favorites are "Up on the Housetop" and "Jingle Bells." Kieran has been making lots of pictures of Santa Claus (however, he no longer believes in Santa at age 5!).
