Christmas Tree and Snow!

This past week was definitely a busy one! After Monaghan family tree decorating we still had our own tree at home to decorate. First, we had to go out and choose one for Mairead's first Christmas. She liked tree shopping-- I think she liked to be outside and she loves going places. Her dad took this picture of Mairead and her mom while we were looking at trees.

This week also brought the first real snowstorm of Mairead's life. She is too little to play out in the snow so the only part of it she saw was in the car for our 2 and half hour drive home from Brockton (usually 25 minutes). She was so good though, and didn't complain about it at all! Luckily, we all made it home safely in what people were saying was the worst commute since the Blizzard of '78. If you want to know anything about that blizzard, ask my nana, she'll tell you. Anyway, we don't have pictures of Mairead in the snow, but I do have one of the house... it definitely looks a lot better than it did last winter! Dave did a great job of putting up the lights and wreaths. We will post indoor Christmas pictures soon!
