Sledding,Practice & Purple Ribbons...

Come go sledding with me. Eric tried to make a snowman

yesterday but the snow would not pack. So he scraped the

drive way while I sledded down our back hill. I had fun but

it would have been better if some of you were here to join me.

Last night we had our first "acting" Christmas program practice.

The kid's did very well, despite the fact that our Joseph was not

there. And me "Grandma" went blank and could not remember my

lines for a song. Oh well, I guess I am just getting old and cannot

memorize as well anymore.

After I got home from practice we went to town to look at

the gingerbread houses. They gave out awards last night and

mine got a Honorable Mention. I thought that was good since

it was my first time.

Well I need to get off here and get something done in my house, its

a mess. :) This evening we are going to a live animal play. Everyone says

it is really great. I sure hope so.

It is finished!!!!

Well it is finally done. Thank goodness. After having worked on it for a few weeks I am so happy to be able to take it to town and turn it in. Now I just hope that after all my hard work I can win a prize. :) Oh well it I don't it was still fun doing it.

Under Construction

Have any construction jobs you need done then don't delay any longer call: Melissa
(her specialty is building houses).
Well that's what I have been doing today, working on my gingerbread house. I watched Payton this morning and when she left the work begin again. I only have one wall the the detail work done. So I feel like I am doing good. What do you think? I'm a pretty good roofer too.

The Gingerbread House

I began working on my log cabin gingerbread house yesterday afternoon. I have had fun working on it so far, but I am not anywhere near finished, by that time I might have a different opinion. Every year they hold a contest in town and display the houses in store windows on the square. So you know me I decided I should make one, I hope I win something for all this work. I will keep you posted on the progress of construction. I will post pictures later, it's not working right now.
