Snow after Christmas

The snow finally came the day after Christmas. It was so cold only Tiara, James and MArtin went out and played.


The mark from an "angel."


Tiara made her way.


Tiara had so much fun in the snow. I wonder how she could stand such cold!


"The snow angel."

Having a good time with the cousins












Dinner with the Eddingtons


I really enjoy preparing Christmas dinner with my sister. We both know what to do and have similar ways of doing things. I miss her much and it was good to see her again.


Isaac is the master of turkey carver. He's been having this task for several years now and we trust his expertise!


Hyrum is very particular about table setting. We're proud of him! What a fine young man he is. His mother taught him well.


Mash potatoes and gravy is not my favorite things. I stick with making pies (chocolate and fresh blueberry). My sister thinks we needed more pies, so she added lemon maringue and pumpkin pies. What a feast! Too bad I can't even eat those yummie desserts! I was so so sick!

More from Ohio trip


Tiara and James in actions.


James is demonstrating his skills in"eating frenzie."


Enjoying one of Sam's Christmas present: The World GBR.


Sam with his Sudoku and James is just perfectly happy with one of the packaging materials!


The joy of Christmas morning!

FIRST BOWLING EXPERIENCE

We went to Ohio for Christmas for two weeks. Tanner had so much fun with his cousins and didn't even care if Mommy wasn't around. We went bowling at Brunswick. It was Tanner's first bowling experience.


I need to get rid off those four!


Daddy is helping Tanner and showing him how to do it.


Sam is helping his brother, James. James and Tanner is almost the same age and they fight over the same thing many times.


It's still James's turn.


Tanner is waiting patiently for his turn. Something he quickly learned around his four cousins (Hyrum, Sam, Tiara and James).
