The family at Christmas Eve Dinner

Adam and I had gone down the hill to do some Christmas shopping, and his ears never popped. We tried using an ear candle (which didn't work, but now his ear is nice and clean). It finally cleared up Christmas morning.

Dwynne gave mom three mini silverware sets from Ikea and wanted to throw a "mini" party a few days later using tiny finger foods. Grandpa was a good sport. He made sure to follow the rules . . . he used his little knife to cut his little food into tiny bites and then ate off his itty bitty fork the whole time!

We served mini: bagels, tartlets, ciche, dogs in a blanket, chocolate turtle cookies, and grapes. We set the table using all the mini dishware we could gather from around the house.
New Years we decided to have a fire and make hobo dinners (which turned out awesome.) We might have to make this a tradition. Later we dumped popcorn kernels into the fire to see if they would explode . . . but they sort of just hopped around.


The night before Natalie and Mo left, we had an un-birthday party for Zuki. Dwynne made the cupcakes (yum) and I, the birthday hat.

We love being at home. Mom and Dad treat us all so well and feed us so good! Thank you for more fun memories!
