Christmas Costume

Carrie and I dressed up Elise - she was supposed to dress like something you see at Christmas - can you tell what she is???? Thank you, Carrie!

Thanksgiving

Elise and I got the rolls baked early this year and put them in the freezer - unfortunately I forgot to take them out of the freezer. Jenna came to me during the meal and asked where they were. She ran down to the basement freezer, thawed out a bag in the microwave and served them - better late than never?
Unfortunately the above table never quite got everyone sitting down for a picture. Carrie made cut out leaf and pumpkin cookies on which she wrote a number with frosting. Before the meal we all picked a number out of a bowl and sat down to the plate with the corresponding cookie number. Lydia, Carrie, and Lina

On Friday evening, the Paul McClain family, the Dorns, the Buglers, the Bensons and the Blaubachs ate a dinner of Aunt Marilee's spaghetti - mmmmmmm! Then we had a time of singing Christmas Carols per Grandpa McClain's request. Don't let Uncle Peter fool you - he's looking at the computer on his lap.

On Friday evening, Aunt Sandy & Uncle Clarence, Uncle Steve, Aunt Debbie & Uncle Bob, Uncle Mark & Aunt Amy with XW and SQ, and Grandma and Grandpa Blaubach came over to welcome Shen Quin (pronounced Shen Cheen). Great memories!
