Our Christmas Mouse Mice

Since it's December we decided we could put up our tree and decorate for Christmas. The kids had a PD day from school and the weather was rotten so we hunkered in and started rearranging so we could find a spot for the tree.
While the kids and I cleaned up their rooms with their newly arranged furniture Ryan went up into the loft part of the garage and dug out our tree and decorations. We didn't have too many ornaments packed away because we had bought new ones but we had a tupperware that had the few we saved, homemade ornaments and the gifted ones to the kids each year from grandma. Ryan starts pulling out some things and notices movement. He calls me into the room telling me we found a Chrismtas mouse but we quickly decide it's not just one but two. As we start digging through the tupperware and pulling things out we start to think that there are 3 of them in there ... then 4 ... then 5.
We finally get everything out of the tote and decide that it's going outside for the dog. He's a mouser, this will be his early Christmas present. Banks has his way with mice after we get a final tally of 7. By the time Banks has finished with his new toys he's completely covered in snow and bouncing around like a kid on Christmas morning.
ICK!
