Its a clean slate around here; save for the Christmas tree, now stripped bare of all decorations, we are holiday-free.  I keep the snowmen up a little longer though Emmy is arguing that snowmen are Christmas decoration and moving them to a box herself, so that might be a sno-go this year. (ha!  did you see what I did there?)  Instead, we are ready to move ahead into January and speed through to spring, please.  It is snowing right now and when we wake it will be white.
