New toys for fun to be had by all.

Rockin' on the Guitar hero. You can't see the groupies dancing in the back ground.


Just call me Mr. Nadal on the clay court. Rici didn't have a chance with my power serve in the Wii Tennis.


One of the most popular events of the week was the Battle of the Century...



Christmas Invasion!

How many of those will I have to pack into the car to take home?



That must be a really nice gift some one just opened!


Sporting the new kicks!


Madison is fascinated with the Bella and she has been a really good sport.


Always a hot spot for the kids...get it..."HOT SPOT"

Who was here in the night...

The tree didn't appreciate the intense heat from the fireplace during the power outage. All items had to be placed next to the tree with care in order to avoid the avalanche of pine needles. It still looks good!



Aaron's digging deep to make sure no man has been left behind...



Anne had to knit for quite a while to get a hat to fit that nugget!

Is it a Twister?

A couple days later we had some high winds that threw the Gas & Electric for a loop. We did what we could to make the best of it with Missy's wide range of candles.


I kicked out a little Sushi for the occasion.


Let It!

We got a little snow just in tome for Christmas. If course the kids busted out the sled and headed for the hills.


It does look like a winter wonderland up here on the mountain.

The Greatest Tree on the Planet!

We had to travel to several places to be the next tradition in the new neighborhood. It is the cheapest tree we have ever bought. It may have something to do with living on a mountain.




Unpacking the thousands of ornaments. The kids tried to put every last one of them on the tree and realized that they couldn't see any green when they were done.




The fireplace has been a huge hit with the dog. It just makes me sweat.

SNOW!

Aaron found a hollow log that seemed to be more interesting than sledding so everyone had to join in.







Mis match backwards day.

Alyssa dressed and ready for the day with Aaron always getting in on the action.



Girl Scouts

Alyssa has been attending several scout activities lately. Painting ceramics...
