Babysitting

Michelle and Ben went to Las Vegas for the MLK weekend and we got to have Marx, Maddox, Deacon, and Will Friday night. We slept in the tent and had smores and a great time. Deacon stayed until Sunday evening. When I got Deacon he was without bruise Roy was playing with him and Deacon tipped over onto the tile. Deacon was playing on his little car and fell off onto the same spot. He didn't look quite so good when his mom and dad came to get him. Oops, I hope we get to have him over again.

Christmas

Roy and Greg built a trailer for Mexico while they were here because all of the babies LOVED being pulled in our little wagon. The look on darling Charly's face says it all. Sheer Bliss=)


Charly also enjoyed the leftovers after others opened their gifts.


Greg did a great job cutting the hair of all Michelle's boys. Maddox wasn't that impressed...when he looked in the mirror after the cut he said, "I don't like it!"


Roy did quite a bit of shopping this year and one of his most fabulous finds was the $2 headlamp from Harbor Freight. All of the little boys got one, even Roy.


Marx and Papa opening gifts.


So, there was the afternoon when each family made a gingerbread house. Here is the Memmott home.


The Tuttle home.


Here is the creation Michelle and her boys made.


Heather came over and snapped a few pictures of the family. We didn't do such a great job avoiding the shadows, but we did get a family picture, such that it is. It just keeps growing=)

December 21, 2007
We made a boat load of cookies, including: Hershey Kiss Peanut Blossoms, Jubilee Jumbles, Hugs on Pretzels, Chocolate Chip, Ginger Snaps, and then there were the sugar cookies we didn't share with anyone...except Santa. I'm not sure how many dozen cookies we made, but it was a great day and the kids had a great time playing with each other.
