God bless us every one.

Can you even believe how cute these cousins are?







Christmas morning, Reuben was pretty impressed with the flashlight in his stocking. He and grandpa had a great few minutes pointing to and moving the light.


Round Pretzels, Almond Bark, Andies Peppermint chunks, Waxed Paper.

Alton Brown's "The Chewy," but with Andies Peppermint chunks with in half the dough, and white chocolate chips and cranberries in the other half. YUMMY!

I had to take advantage of a cute little subject who couldn't run away! Although she was as wiggly as a baby girl can get.




Ham, Sister Zizka Rolls, Fruit filled stuffing, Yams (with pecan strussel instead of marshmallows), mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole.

Hair Cut! Its a little shorter in the front than I like, but its so nice to have the frizz cut off.

Talyn and Kevin got grandpa a train for Christmas, so Reuben and Grandpa had a great time playing with it!

This is what Christmas should look like! We went outside to play in the snow, and Reuben was a little too short to be successful at it. He would try to shuffle through the snow that was up to his thighs, and then yell "Two, Free" and fall down (like daddy taught him to do). He would play in the snow for a little bit, and then yell, "I'm GUCK!" We would stand him up and it would start up again.
