Christmas Doings

Homework needs to be done before any Christmas decorations go up.

Having some hot cocoa

I forgot to rotate the picture again. Jett digging through everything to find some ornaments.

Not such a good idea to overflow the tree water on a newly re-finished wood floor. Jetts hands are up claiming innocence.

Another forgotten rotated picture. Turn Your Head! Enola the elf. Isn't Enola a perfect elf name?

Look closely you can see Jett too. This is Chris' Grandpa Shepards house. It was on the news that night. The picture doesn't capture all the lights.

It's all the rage, so we thought we would try it. Chocolate dipped bacon.

Finished plate of goodies. Chocolate dipped; potato chips, pretzels, marshmallows, bacon and clementines.

Here are some pictures to amuse you
Taylor and his cute girlfriend Ashlee came over for dinner tonight. We like her. She took all the teasing about the hickey Taylor had on his neck last week very well. Although she was quite embarrassed she didn't run away. That's a good sign

Mom and her sexy new haircut.

Nine months ago we couldn't figure out a way to keep Jett from sucking his finger. They tried every sort of bribery known. Until one day Pops took drastic measures and promised Jett a four wheeler if he stopped. Unfortunately for Mom she didn't know Pops made this bet and unfortunately for Pops it was one bribe Jett thought was a good idea.

The reward

He's a wild man. Good thing it comes with a kill switch on a separate key chain, so anytime he starts to get a little out of control all that has to be done is hit the big purple switch and an irritating alarm sounds and the four wheeler stops. Any bets on how long it will be before he crashes on it?

Halloween

Pops helping Enola with her pumpkin. He had to use a coping saw blade because her pumpkin was too thick none of the actual pumpkin tools would reach through.

Creating their masterpieces.

The one home grown pumpkin that struggled for survival was doomed to be savagely hacked away at.

Enola won scariest costume in her class. Her prize...a black light bulb.

And Jett. The only difference from Halloween and any other day. He got to wear face paint.

More Pictures

Chris had another detailed pumpkin the rest of us wouldn't have patience for (Turn your head I forgot to rotate the picture)

Enola's

Jetts pumpkin (Unlike my husband I don't have the patience to clean it up and make it look professional) Jett did the carving though

My pumpkin (This is Aimee not April) I forgot to carve out the eyes and the mouth. I marked it but I figured it looked ok enough

Moms pumpkin
