All That Christmas Jazz

With all the holiday celebrations, I haven't had time to catch you up with all my amazing festivities.

First my father took some pictures of grass with frost on the blades. Beautiful!

There were gingerbread houses:

The supplies that make a ginger(or honey graham) houses.


This is the winning house. It was an orphanage for little children who didn't have Christmas Dresses or Shoes due to a tragic fire. (How can an orphanage NOT win!)This house was in an earth quake (still tragic, but not like orphans, so it didn't win)This is to classic, like a real house. Nothing outstanding except someone has been paying the morgage (which nowdays is a rarety!)The winning team!Eating the bill paying house!There was also a White Elephant party. My favorite!
This young man won a cowboy had and a cheetah set to cover a scooter. You can't go wrong with that combo!You will be proud to know that I am the one who donated this ugly Christmas sweater. I think the best part is how well it fits him!Hoola Hoops for small children are always a smashing hit!And nothing says super model like a crazy wig! I really hope someone with lice didn't wear this before donating it!
And Christmas parties!

Delicious food, Cafe Rio style
Before strangers started holding her.
Once she realizes some one scary (like my mom) is holding her
The look of sheer terror!A sack of upside down potatoes.
The Cluny girls always know what is going on!
Who doesn't love double image mirror time?!
Christmas just makes you want to dance!
It brings out the musical abilities in us all.
Loving time with Aunt Rachel


Babies always have to eat green unidentified food.
But bath time makes it all better.
