Happy Little Christmas, and other stuff

HAPPY LITTLE CHRISTMAS! This is the family that came for Little Christmas, the Gunnels. Don't you just love the girl's picture? I look sick and Maddie's eyes are closed. Obviously we will never be models.

The boy's picture is better, but I somehow got in it"thanks dad" and Reid looks like he has been watching a scary movie, and Grant looks, well, like Grant.

Okay, i know that this doesn't exactly look like a day for a snow day from school, but let me give you an example. My mom asked me to get something from a neighbor right across the street, and it took me about 5 minutes to get there. Yep, the snow went up past my knees, almost to my waist. And okay ,I know I'm a bit height challenged, but everyone was having a hard time moving through it.

Happy Late Halloween! Yep, we have Pebbles, me, a Candy Corn Witch, Maddie, a Skeleton, Reid, and a Dragon, Grant. This year was pretty fun, but the best part was when Grant finally figured out the concept of Halloween. This was his famous line that night, "Come on guys! We have to get more candy! Hurry guys!" Or, all of those "hurries", were turned into, "Wait up guys! Wait for me to get my candy! Wait!"

Reid had a Pirate Performance at his school and it was really neat, once you were able to get the songs out of you head.

Okay, I know that everyone has heard of Christmas, but have you ever heard of Little Christmas? Well, when my mom went to Finland as an exchange student, they celebrated it. You celebrate it the first day of December and it is like a small Christmas before Christmas. It's pretty fun and we celebrate it every year. The writing on the cake means "Happy Little Christmas"

This is this year's Christmas tree, yep, candy themed. It's really cool, until you're hungry and then you can't go into that room without thinking, "just one bite, that's all........."

This is my mom's tree and like the bench, there are some rules......

• NO touching the shiny, pretty ornaments that cost money(or the tree)


• NO running by the tree


• NO walking into the room where the tree is


• NO looking at the tree


• NO breathing on the tree


• NO thinking about the tree

As you can see, it's amazing I even got a picture of it. Also, the same rules apply to the bench. I think that there must be some sort of pattern. You know, no touching the "nice" stuff".

This is the table setting for the "kids" table on Little Christmas. Compare the difference between this on and the "adult one" where 3 year old are sitting. Man, I guess once you hit 7, you start being considered as a "kid". Oh, and then once you turn 20, you are recognized as "elderly"! I finally see how the world goes round.

This is this year's nativity, and every year we have to do something nice and put a piece of hay on Jesus's manger so it's more comfy. So yep, I pretty much just put this picture up because it looks good.
