Getting ready for Christmas

This morning we took it easy, after our full day and late night in London for Rhiannon's birthday.  It was cold with high overcast skies as we woke up, and after some cozy morning stirrings, we went to the Carter's Christmas Tree farm down the road and picked out a good one for the season.

In the afternoon, Rhodri and Tryfan actually had rugby practice and as they were starting to pack up to head home, our part of the country got a big dump of snow!  Apparently they barely made it up the hill to the top of Stonequarry Road because there was so much snow on the ground.  But for Rhiannon, Annie and me, we were all snuggled at home with the fire going.

We spent the evening decorating the tree and the house!  We've all been looking so forward to this moment, when the four of us are back together under one roof and feeling the Christmas spirit, and here we finally are.
