The Night Before Christmas

Here is my attempt to capture the scene at our house today. We are off to my uncles tonight for Christmas with mom's side of the family. I have to work 7a.m. to 3p.m. tomorrow so we don't have Christopher until tomorrow evening...that is if I make it to work. The weather is crazy. One minute they are saying five inches of snow and two of ice, then the next that the storm isn't even moving this way. I guess we will find out in the morning what will be true!

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house,
Logan's toys lay a strewn as mom cleaned puke off her blouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
Where they would wait 'til tomorrow when Christopher is here.


The infant child lay sleeping ever so quietly on the floor,


While the dog snored softly, finally itching no more!



The cookies were frosted,


The music was played,


The tree was a-glow


Where gifts underneath it did lay.

Outside the wind howled as the snow it was fallin'

Hope it stops soon, mom would hate to call in!
