christmas eve assembly line

Centel and Barret organized a fun evening - decorating the tree with popcorn,licorice, and cinnamon sticks by 13 pairs of little hands (ages 7 months to 19 years), two sets of grandparents and three sets of parents. Three girls took our pizza orders -marked off our choices for toppings,sauces,and cheeses from printed forms. Then this assembly line put the pizzas together!! Haven't had this much fun since I was a kid and got together with all my cousins.

Gingerbread house destruction

Still hate building those sticky houses - we left ours on the deck for the birds!!!

WHAT A WINTERY week. First came the snow, then the temperature dropped to -20c and Friday, -27c. We had NO power all day Friday. Decoa and Jeff were without power over 12 hours and concerend about the wine in kegs. Overnight the temperature warmed up to -15c and now we have MORE snow; lots more snow. Jagger and Jace came for a sleepover; in the morning we all went outside to help grampa clean the driveway and play.
