Rail Road

Grandmom and Grandad gave the boys this train set for Christmas. Bill has built and the boys taken apart the set many times.  In the words of Jonas, " this s a really good train set."

Eating the house

Home building

I can't call it gingerbread house building, why?  Because I bought cookies instead of looking up some non molasses (none here) recipe mixing and baking gingerbread.  My boys were non the wiser!  And their whole incentive for making them was to eat them.  Their works of art were equipped with swimming pools, garages, snow covered grass, gummy alligators in the pool and cars in the garage.  Yaa for completing something crafty with minimal clean up!

Christmas Eve

This year was the first Christmas since we had kids that we had to prepare for Christmas morning by ourselves at our own house.

Eating oranges

Clementine season is upon us, 3.50 for a 20 lbs crate.  Perfect activity after church, orange eating
