The Tree Tops Glisten

Weather.com's local page says it's MINUS 14 and feels like MINUS 36. What can I say? Nothing. I can say nothing except "Brrrrr." Although I just got out of the hot tub and I am sweating a little bit and drinking an ice water. Heh, heh.

I guess mother nature was easing me into Montana winters the past three years. My fourth winter (which technically hasn't even begun yet) is cookin' up to be a doozie. [Aside--you'll forgive my whining about the weather--it comes with the territory when you're reading a blog written by an AZ girl transplanted to MT--I do it every winter and will probably double it up this year!]

My poor house bound kids! I let them jump on my bed today cuz they had to let of some steam. We decorated mini-trees today--Addie's is ballerinas and nutcrackers and Heidi's is teddy bears. They are in the guest room windows, and when I am not afraid that the weather will break the camera, I will take a picture. It's really quite magical.

Well, much love to all--I wish you down comforters, hot cocoas and sweet dreams!

I guess we got out of there in the nick of time. I kept telling everyone that MT winters really were not that bad. I was only there for the last three too. It feels cold here now. Only getting to 45 today, but 45 in Texas feels so different than 45 Montana. We got your Christmas Card (Holiday Card?)- it is so cool. We sent ours out yesterday, so keep a look out. They do say the mail gets through any type of weather, right? Stay warm.

Eek! That really is cold. I'll try to let up on some of my own cold-weather complaints as a sympathetic shout out to your MT situation.

I love that you're sweating and drinking ice water! That's stickin' it to Mother Nature! :)

I was talking to my folks last night in Missoula. They said the high yesterday was -5. After six years, I think they have gotten used to it, but you are right about this winter getting off to an artic start for you Montanans. I am not envious. We are in the 20s and 30s in Alabama right now and probably won't go any lower anytime soon.
