Christmas 2011

Eunice: How long are they going to keep us out here?
 Hugo: Well, maybe if you would stop your barking, they would let us back in.

These pics of Elisabeth modeling the Redskins hat (given to us by Carla P.) were taken after the Christmas Eve service.

Let the festivities begin!

Where is my Lisa?

Lumberjack Joel?

Christmas evening: The kids made ice cream with their gifts from California.

Lucy would not look at the camera.  Her hair is long, isn't it?

Gingerbread is in the House

The beginning.  We baked everything the night before.

LOTS of candy!

I bought this several years ago at a yard sale.  

Elisabeth putting together Hogwarts.

My mom was visiting and she gladly watched us "wing it."

The towers are made out of homemade cookies, peppermint cookies from Big Lots, and ice cream cones.

Hogwarts  before the elves came.

Look at this mess!

This was what was happening under the table.

Hugo was amazed by all the energy created by 8  girls.

The Goblet of Fire.

Hermione and Harry with their wands.

Lots of fun had by all!!!
