We were "blessed", by which I mean harassed, by absurd quantities of snow. Red loved it. Here she is with the old man.
We had a great time playing horse and sled. Guess who was the horse?
Smiley got a new cooking set that looked like Mom's but only about 1/4 scale. He was a little confused but enjoyed it all the same.
One tradion we have is to make gingerbread houses with real gingerbread. Red's spent a lot of time helping Grandma by eating as much frosting and decorations as she could.
This year I went with a "Christmas at the Bastille" theme. It is not my best work but not my worst. You can see the battlements and an armed red gummy bear at the top.
The Gummy Bears in the fortress were red (representing the Revolutionaries) and they hate the green gummy bears (The Royalists), so here you can see where they have impaled some of the green Gummy Bears as a warning to others. It is not as good as "Christmas in the Trenches of Petersburg" but I am rather pleased with it. I think it is very festive, and historical.
So we also go downtown to see the lights. Here is me and my sister with a what Jesus and his family would have looked like had they been Navajo or Eskimos I couldn't really tell.
Until next year I wish you a Happy Holidays.

Loved it. I am glad I got a chance to see the gingerbread houses.
Very nice. Wasn't the snow fantastic?? I absolutely loved it! Although I didn't have to shovel an ounce of it, that's what husbands are for.
oh my god. I literally started laughing out loud at your Christmas at the Bastille picture and description. And if it isn't obvious by now, I ended up going through your archives...
