Santa Pics





Last night we went to Heritage Hill in Lake Forest....This spot is on our "christmas-activity-rotation" that we frequent every few years. It has historic homes, a school, church and pueblo. They decorate it for the holidays and have candle lit pathways to walk through.

Home for the Holidays

M


My favorite ornament from my small childhood.




Who wouldn't want these two to come visit and play a little Rook?
I let the girls play around with the camera and take pictures of the ornaments and the house... They did a pretty good job I think. Maybe we have some future photographers.

Thanksgiving 2011




One of the best things about Thanksgiving is waking up at around 5am and smelling the turkey cooking in the oven. Then falling back asleep...then waking up around 8:30 have a breakfast of cinnamon rolls, strawberries and whip cream, hashbrown/sausage breakfast casserole and hot cocoa. Then we just lay around for a few hours and do absolutely nothing but watch the Macy's "commercial" parade. Then I start cooking around 12:00. This year we went up to Mark and Julie's house and spent the afternoon with the family. It was nice and uneventful.
