Christmas 2011

Christmas Morning 

December 20, 2011

Looks like Murphy had a wild night last night.  He and Ken look like they are scared to death being chased by the Hulk.

I just happened to look out the window as these two were walking across the street to the neighbors house. They are usually at each other's throats or best buddies.  I wish the latter were the more common of the two, but it's not so I like to document it when I see it.

December So Far

It's been a busy month so far.  Between holiday stuff and house building stuff, I feel like I'm constantly treading water to keep up.  I keep reminding myself that all the things going on are GOOD things, so it's a GOOD stress.  But, still it's stress and I'm staying home today nursing a (probably stress induced) sore throat.  Here's a snippet of what's been going on so far.

Ward Christmas Party

Both of the girls had little dances they performed in.

Crew and his Primary buddies sang a song.

He sat with his friend Parker and watched the other performances.

They got a little silly.

A visit from Santa.  Crew told me he knew it was a "fake" Santa because his beard was fake and his shoes were hiking shoes covered up by black plastic.  Pretty observant this kid.
