Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas in Fairhope with Nick's family. Although it was not without drama. Nick ran a fever of almost 103 two of the nights we were there and Reed has his first big cold. (Which is now an ear infection.) Although he was sick Reed was in a fairly good mood, and took lots of great pictures. Santa brought him all kinds of fun stuff and so did Grandpa, Grammy , Aunt Sandy and Uncle Josh. He is sooooo very rotten. It took 3 different sittings to get through Reed's gifts due to a bit of fussy baby. Enjoy the pictures. Thanks again Nick and Joan for a great Christmas.Reed and his Grandpa

Who Eats this Stuff???

Nick and I had a blast the last night decorating our Gingerbread house. Nick made the Gingerbread from scratch (of course). Then used a Bob Villa floor plan to build it. Then we both went to town decorating it. Here are the great pictures of our masterpiece. Notice the cute little Gingerbread Family. I think their names our Nick, Katie & Reed.

OMG Do you see the messy kitchen????

Ho,Ho,Ho!

Here are a few of the thousands of pictures I took to put on the Christmas card. Didn't use any of them, but they sure are cute.
