Gingerbread Houses!






So we decided to have a little bit of fun and turn the gingerbread-house making into a contest! We divided ourselves into two teems...Angelina, Colton,and Taylor made up one team and Dustin, Ainslee, Lyssie, and myself made up the other team (of course the winning team:) The race was on to see who could build the best gingerbread house! There was candy stealing, blocking of views, cheating, lying, you name it we played dirty! Taylor even laughed so hard she blew milk out her nose...it was a great time had by all!

BOWLING BONANZA!

We went bowling for a big night out on the town! The only person to exceed 100 was "grandpa"! The rest of us well..it was just for fun...right? The night went pretty smoothly aside from the fact that Lyssie kept trying to grab the bowling balls as they shot back up the ramp and we continously had to warn her "not to do that you'll get your fingers smashed" (which luckily only happened once), I had to switch arms due to my bum shoulder giving out about halfway through my first game, Ange twisted her knee, and dad's back wasn't holding out all that well! What a bunch of degenerates! All in all it was good to get out of the house and enjoy each others company!






SANTA IS COMING TO TOWN!

The kids are all getting excited for Christmas...and I have to admit I am too! I love the smells of the holidays...cinnamon...pine...freshly baked cookies...and the ambience of all the lights everywhere! We spent the weekend rearranging the house and putting up all the decorations! It was lots of fun! The countdown begins....
