Winter and 25 degree weather

Now this is what winter should be like. Right now in California it is still in the 80s. We have been so excited to have a true winter, now that it is here..... we NEED jackets. Marcus already lost his. Mark and I are going to make a trip to the thrift stores today. We cant $30-$50 on jackets when they loose them like they cost $5.

This is on the bend of our street. The boys were so excited to see all the ice. They want snow.

I have decided that 6:40 AM and 25 degrees is too early and too cold for us to be out waiting for the school bus. So I will be taking them to school now. It will be getting colder and colder as we get into Jan and Feb.

I warmed up the car so it was toasty for the boys.

I pray every night that the cold and ice does not get the better of this tree. We got a quote to have it taken down for $800. It is the cheapest so far. Anyone want to donate towards the cause? :-)
