Christmas Tree

December 17, 2009 ML

We bought our Christmas tree this year from a tree farm in Oregon! (But they made camp here in Tucson) Real nice people and the tree is beautiful. Hopefully, Henry is mature enough this year not to destroy it…not holding my breath.

Cookie Party!

December 15, 2009 ML

Instead of baking cookies by ourselves this year, we decided to invite some close friends over to help out. It was a lot of fun and brought out the creativity in some peeps!!

We took these pictures of the baby for a calendar we made for Christmas…Henry was a little cranky so we had to cut it short but we got some good pics.

Thanksgiving!

November 25, 2009 ML

This Thanksgiving we decided to stay in Tucson and try our hand at making a nice turkey dinner. We invited Grandpa over along with our good friends Paul, April and Silas. I was hopeful that it would turn out OK, but the potatoes were drier than the Sahara and the turkey had absolutely no flavor. My gravy turned out to be a little too thick and by the end of the meal I could barely get the ladel out it without taking the whole boat along! Oh well…we learned our lesson and our guests were so nice and ate it up with sweet smiles so they wouldn’t hurt our feelings. 🙂 Even though the meal was lacking, the company made up for it! THANK YOU GUYS!
