Making “Gingerbread houses”

One of our Christmas traditions is making gingerbread houses. For the last couple of years we have done it with graham crackers. It is a lot less work and still just as much fun. Here are some pictures from this year.

A funny thing happened on the way to the airport

We were taking Lynn and Alyxibeth to the airport. They are going to Los Angeles for surgery on her foot.

The kids wanted to see if our favorite tree lot was up, and it was. So we stopped and bought a tree as we were heading to the airport. Luckily they said we could come back after we dropped Lynn and Alyxibeth off at the airport.

Being so cute

These three came and stood by the van they were so cute I had to take a picture. Klaus just got a hair cut.

Today is Alyxibeth’s birthday. She is seven today. We will celebrate her birthday tomorrow because Emalie is flying home from Utah.

We are all sad with the passing of Grandma James last night. It was a surprise to us all.

Try something different

So after all the kids had turns on Grandma Jo’s four wheeler they wanted me to have a go at it. I wasn’t sure I wanted to, but then had the thought “why not, do something fun every once in a while.” So I hopped on. Just then I felt Lynn wrap her arms around me. Man I should have gotten on earlier! That makes me want a four wheeler if Lynn is going to ride behind me like that.
