Ice Day, too

I decided to go ahead and make some cranberry jam, chocolate chip cookies and cranberry shortbread on this icy day!

Ice Day

We usually have more of a chance of getting an ice day in Texas rather than a snow day. We'll get enough of the latter when we head to Germany this month.

Christmas Card Outakes

Dust off your photo albums, because here are the outtakes from our annual Christmas Card shoot.

Iria picked the locale- a wonderful nature preserve that is just about an hour up the road. The sun was shining, the kids were cooperating, and the birds were migrating- a perfect storm for photos!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving, as every year, is spend with the frousins and a lot of food. This year, the kids also got to light the menorah, spin the dreidel and open Hanukkah presents as Thanksgiving was the second night of Hanukkah. The next time we will come together for that will be in 2070;)
























Kassidy and Kate held hands all afternoon and evening. Here they are surveying and tasting the dessert. They later had devoured almost half a chocolate pie just by sticking their little fingers in it, and loved every second of it. It was very hard to not let them have their pie, they were so darn cute!
