Merry Christmas

A few cute photos of Grady since he wouldn't sit with Santa done by www.ultravioletphoto.com

Mutant Boy

Yesterday Grady spent some time in the front entry, he was quite quiet and out he came a MUTANT! With shoes for hands and giant boot feet!

Christmas Sweater Party

The past few years we have hosted a Christmas Party. This year we decided to give it a liitle twist and do Tacky Christmas Sweaters. Thanks to everyone who came!

The Tree!

Food!

More Food!

Lee, Voula, Billy and Helen. Great use of a table cloth to create a family look!

Leslie, Brian and Grady.

Tif, Dre and Alexa

Tanya and Connor

Crystal and Nick, by far best homemade sweaters and love the beer in the hand for the Corny Family Photo!

Steve and Christine. Lucky they know people who keep all their old clothes, the rest of us sure had to get creative!

Ryan, Megan and Connor may not have tacky sweaters but they sure hammed it up for the Corny Family Photo

And the winner for Best Christmas Sweater is ... Christine! Looks like she is going to proudly display that trophy at home!

Gingerbread Train

This week I decided it would be fun to build a gingerbread house together. It would hopefully also help us wile away a winter afternoon. Safeway had Gingerbread Train kits - even better!

First you must read the instructions

Then you should eat - I mean assemble the pieces

Once assembled you can begin to eat - I mean put on the decorations

Continue to eat - I mean put on the candies until they are all gone or placed

The finished product!
