After-school activities are cancelled for this afternoon. It's been snowing all day! We have about 15cm so far (that's 5.9 inches). But it is also all on top of clumpy, frozen ice from the last snow. Not much gets plowed here.
It is also the first of December! So, we have the Advent Calendar Excitement!! We did the Lego before school and we'll do the chocolates after school. The boys were disappointed that they couldn't have the chocolate before getting on the bus! I'm just mean like that.
We also let the boys pick out a tree this weekend. I was thinking about a small, live tree in a bucket that could stay indoors in our sunroom year-round. But, they were thinking snowy fake tree. We ended up letting them make the decision. We can use it again next year and also bring it home with us when we come back to Colorado. Brian bought himself some balls (hee, hee) - of course they are in Maroon & Orange.
The real decorations are going to be purchased at the Christmas Markets. Each of us will get to pick an ornament from each city's Christmas Market that we visit. We'll get them from Bratislava, Vienna, and we'll check out some others as we drive around during break. That way we'll have souvenirs from all over Europe that will be special. Also, the tree is a bit busy with all of the snow and pine cones, so we don't need many ornaments!
Hope everyone is well!
Glad to see the clocks made it to Bratislava!
