Concerning Gingerbread

December 24th, 2009

Making gingerbread houses…

Our finished product – lots of chocolate!

Trying so desperately to save one of the houses…

Oops!

Hey, it’ll still taste good!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Brother/Sister Photoshoot Reel

This series of pictures reminded me of the roll of pictures you get in one those photo booths at the mall! None of them turn out “successful”, per say, but somehow you like them anyway. :-)

Merry Christmas Eve Eve! :-D

The New Wheels

December 22nd, 2009

I’ve gotten many requests for a picture, so here you go! My first “wheels” – a ’98 Honda Civic sedan.

The manual transmission is taking a while to get used to, but I’m going to like it. :)

And yes, it does have a name! Taking a cue from Horatio Hornblower, it has been christened “The Indefatigable”, or “The Indy” for short.

Snow, Snow, Snow

December 21st, 2009

Finally we got our first real snow fall (though it seems like only Kasie and I are enjoying it).  Here is my first snowman of the year!

Is Your Christianity Subtle?

Some thoughts from Walter – a mini-podcast.

Christianity is not subtle

The Christmas Tacky Party

December 11th, 2009

Continuing with the tradition from last year, we joined our friends in celebrating Christmas in a very silly way last Saturday – everything tacky! All the guests brings a dish for the potluck, a gift for the White Elephant gift exchange, and dress as tacky as humanely possible!

I think the bar of tacky dress has risen since last year – check it out!

Isn’t that awesome? We had a lot of laughs that night!

And speaking of laughs, my hair was a great subject during the party. Nobody thought it looked very tacky (??), so we put it up in a mushroom cloud, “atomic bomb explosion” whatever-you-call-it hairdo, meanwhile afro wigs were being passed around, and then picture posing began!

I hope this brought a smile to your face! :-) We sure had a blast. Have a great weekend!

The Christmas Ball

December 9th, 2009

December 4th, the date of our Christmas Ball…

You’ve seen our dancing video, a few sneak peaks, and read many posts of sewing preparations we’ve had. Now see the pictures.

First the caroling…

And now the ball!

Goodness, we had so much fun!

When the dancing was over we still weren’t ready to go home, so us our dear friends went on a crazy expedition to Wal-Mart to promenade about the store singing Christmas carols! We got quite a few interesting glances and questions. Boy, that was a laugh!
