More Christmas

Chris made Brinda some stilts.

And he wasn't very good at sharing.

Neave got some stilts of her own from Uncle Bob.

Brinda, right before she hid her treasures in her closet.

Tucker got a tool set.  Now he's fixing our chairs.  

And a new book from Grandma Ellen, with night vision goggles from Santa.

Photos from Christmas

These are actually from Solstice, when we opened gifts at our house.  

This is what happens when you try to take pictures of them all together.

Here is only one of 75 photos Neave took of the inside of the tree.  She'd really like you to see that.

Bat - tle!

I was playing with my old costume from last Halloween.  I was hanging upside down by my feet.  

The Christmas Play

by Brinda

This is my Christmas play.  And I love the Christmas play.  The sixth graders did the play, and kindergarten through fifth grade sang the songs.

The guy right there in the picture kind of looks like Uncle Bob.  Uncle Bob, did you come to the play?

I was singing about a sheep, a donkey, and a cow.  I am a sheep.  I was by Mary with the baby Jesus.

Reading Rocks!

I was reading to my little sister Neave nursery rhymes.  She really likes nursery rhymes.  We were looking at one of my favorite nursery rhyme books in the house.

Turkey Farm

From Brinda:

We used to have turkeys at our farm.  And then we butchered the turkeys for Thanksgiving, and now we don't have any turkeys left.  

This is how the turkeys puff up.
