Better Late than Never??

Here are some pictures of what we've been doing the last week or so :)


The Thanksgiving turkey.. it was 25#! Way too big but I think it was good even though the gravy was way too salty (and I didn't add any salt!).
Kara & I went to the Nutcracker the night after T-day.  She LOVED it.  We went with some friends and Kara had a great time.  She's holding a "Clara" ornament.  I loved watching her watch the ballet even though she asked why they weren't talking!
Gingerbread Mansion building at the Sutterfields!  Kamdon is VERY creative and she invited me and the kids over one night when Clayton was gone to construct these masterpieces.  Obviously, there was as much sugar consumed as went on the chateaus.


Last night we had Clayton's reserve Christmas party.. it was bad timing in that Clayton flew in from Fairbanks at 4:00, party at 6:00!  I forgot my camera so no pics (figures).  Obviously, Clayton survived survival no worse for the wear.  He was STARVING by the time we had dinner and he entertained our table eating 2 huge plates of food... he only had 1 MRE for ~48 hours.
