Christmas

My idea plus Judd's craftiness. We made these for the Cara and Grandma Z, plus one for us :) Gone are the days of randomly floating Christmas cards throughout the house or cluttering the piano.

Playing in Nana's Christmas bears.

Dad and Kennedy, both wearing new Christmas presents. Kennedy got PJ's that say I love dad and a pair that say I love mom.

Checking out cousin Chloe's present.

Toys GALORE

A new apron for mom. I also got a mixer and a rolling pin to add to my arsenal of kitchen tools.

Santa

At the ward Christmas party with our neighbor Kwin.

After seeing Santa. Needless to say I think that he scared her just a little. Before she got a foot away she had her feet kicking in the air and was screaming bloody murder... Ah the things we subject our children to...

The reason that our tree was only decorated on the top half by the time Christmas rolled around.

Graham Cracker Houses

My masterpiece... Well, not quite. I got sick of mine falling over so I made a "labrynth" I was going to put a tight wearing David Bowie at the end but none of the jelly beans made the cut. His tights are hard to fill.

Judds house. He only took about 10 minutes to make this, where mine took about 4 times that and it looks like a 6 year old did it.

We do this as a family every year at Christmas time. The best part by far is eating the candy.

The nephews

Kennedys first ever graham cracker house. I may have helped her on all of it, but there is no proof of that.

Just a Month Late....

A few pictures from Thanksgiving... I know I am a tad behind on this but oh well...

Kennedy covered in yuck and enjoying her crackers.
THE most complicated game in the world.
We had Thanksgiving at the church with about 30 family members.
G & G Zimmerman
Hair? What's wrong with my hair?
Cousin Jocelyn and her olives :)

Food glorious food! It was sooooo good! Thanks Natasha for setting everything up.

I'm right! No... No, I AM RIGHT. NO! I am right... Looks like they are in a heated debate, really just waiting for the food :)
