Time for some holiday family fun!


So Aunt Tam decided that it was time for some holiday family fun. In the beginning it took some convincing to get John, Allie, and Nick to join in but then they decided it wasn't so bad- I think.
I already did one ginger bread house by myself so I decided to recruit help with the second one I had.


And then they took over and all I had to do is take pictures. Johnny had a hard time getting the shutters to stick but they eventually did.

I think they liked to taste the house decorations more than using them on the house.


Hey- is this a picture of all three of them smiling together? What's up with that?


Team work made the roof like great- both sides.


And the end product

Like I said- tasting is more fun! and then Nick took off with a GIRL so the rest of us went outside to make a snowman. Too bad the snow wasn't packing so we had to change plans. After a quick snowball fight we went...


sledding on the hill out back that we used when we were kids! There's Allie


I think the hill is smaller than I remember because they kept landing in the prickers and trees- no major injuries though!


The end result


And here comes Johnny


Johnny in the prickers and trees


But going up the hill for another run!


Grandma- where's the hot chocolate? John got us some from Tim Ho's because Grandma needs to stock up!
They were all good sports for putting up with Aunt Tam- we lacked boots, gloves, ect but we made what we had work. And we had a good time doing it!

Per the out-of-state family request- here is the NY snow! Enjoy!!


Still not enough to go snow shoeing though- maybe by next week.
