Christmas Day

As I looked through our not proliferate Christmas pictures (apparently we were too busy living it, and didn't do very good at taking pictures of it) I realized my favorite part of all of the pictures were the faces.  Here is a quick sum up of our Christmas...







Judging from that I'd say it was a pretty great Christmas! 

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve was a pretty laid back day.  We prepped the house for a visit from the jolly old elf, played, decorated gingerbread houses and enjoyed dinner with our friend the Ishihara's.  Here are a few pics...








Christmas Eve also brings two early gifts.  Ornaments and Jammies...

 
 
 
All ready for bed and visions of sugar plums...
 

Spencer Turns 14!

I do not feel old enough to have a 14 year old! Ahh!
Now that I got that off my chest, here is a look at Spencer's 14th birthday...

Spencer wanted a puzzle box for his birthday.  While it was somewhat tricky, it wasn't tricky enough to keep him out for long...



Pretty cool little box anyway!
This boy has graduated from birthday cake and has moved on to more sophisticated fare.  Birthday pie.  Apple this time.  He doesn't look too thrilled in this picture, however...




Happy Birthday Spence!
