Tis the Season



Tis the Season to:
Do puzzles
Make gingerbread houses
Color decorations
Share the love

Each holiday season we do at least one puzzle.   There was a small problem since we moved to this house - no dining room to set the puzzle up in.  So I moved all the computer stuff off the office desk and Walah! a place for puzzlers!  1st son said he had homework to do, but I knew he'd find some time to put in a piece or two.
 On the 2nd Sunday each month the kids all bring things.  This is S's beautiful contribution - a Christmas tree veggie tray!
 Ferocious coloring by the grandkidlets.
 All of these small wooden decorations were sent to Elder B with love so that he could decorate his apartment in Washington - aah!
Eldest Grandson, D, is a wizard with the duct tape.  See the wallet and handbag he made for little S.  Very beautiful, D!
Youngest Grandson, "I", testing out walking with the help of his uncle.  I wager it will be less than a month before he takes his first steps.
 The Gingerbread House Tradition.
This year we moved the decorating from Christmas Eve to the 2nd Sunday and it was so fun!
 
 K and M's design
 M and S's A-Frame Cabin
 A and J's Candy Cottage
 "I" and N's pretty house built by two
 A and Z's Face House
 A's work of art!
 "I" and J's Santa Sleigh
By the time these three grow up I will have many, many pictures of the three of them playing the piano

Two little two year old elves babysitting two little Christmas bears.

I love this time of year!
