Christmas Day 2015

Stockings are my favorite gift. I love them

This is actually out of our WINTER garden, its just amazing. We had even more tomatoes that we already made salsa from.

Meal times, I love having a full house and meals at our table.

I love that teenagers get excited about their stockings, even if this year they are more about necessities

We even gave our house guest her stocking full of goodies, we borrowed it from her to fill it up since she was with us this year

Smiling faces~ always a great thing

Sometimes the practical gifts get these faces..

Paul really needed a new wallet and socks so those were in his stocking

This is my favorite captured moment. Hatchet got a new toy in our daughters stocking and Paul was playing with her, lets just say our computer chairs and dog toys are not companions, over he went~

Jakob needed money for school so he got a Tshirt and two pair of jeans as well as some new shoes

Zekaryah really loves to dress up so some ties, slacks, dress shoes and a vest was on his list

Mekenzei bought Izzy a poster and this sweater for the dog, who seems to be Izzy's friend so much these days.

Mekenzei loves her new sweatshirt and hat

I love my new salt and pepper shakers/containers and Jakob bought me a three piece measuring cup set made from glass with his own money. A much needed gift. I didn't have one.

More meal times

The best part of break is lots of game nights. Since we don't have a couch chairs around my quilting table work great

Depot Day Carnival Games

The city I live in has a Depot Day every year. This is the 20th annual event and I am chairing it. I came up with the idea of old fashioned carnival games that the kids could play. These are some my husband and I created. I had a couple friends help with the painting. This one was done by my son's friend from High School.

She also drew and painted this one. Very cute. It will work for a bean bag toss or a photo op for younger children.

A few of the local schools are going to sponsor a game. That is exciting. I love community involvement.

This is one of my favorites. I hope to make some yellow and red bean bags for the game and have some painted cans to knock down

This one we will probably cut a hole in the blue portion and then use waffle balls to throw through

You should see how big this truly is. It will work great with some Bean Bags.

This is for a dum dum pull. We need to drill the holes still.

This one is for a Ring Toss, it will have a stand and then be in a bucket of sand.

This is a Ring Toss game. It will be lots of fun also.
