Gingerbread village

We paid our annual visit to the Capt. Cook to visit the large gingerbread village display.  Quite a treat and it always smells so good!

We're stamped and reading

Liev got into his brother's stamp. Whoops.

Reading time!

Santa and more...

Liev doing what he does best - get into everything.

Santa with Jack on the Holiday Train.

We waited for Santa (again!) at the Petroleum Club.  Thanks for arranging Gpa!

Liev missed out as he was home asleep.

Picking out a color for his balloon jet.  As you can see below, a huge success.

Jack's gift from Santa.

Santa and Jack....sideways!

Early Dec. happenings

 Tom's bday - I surprised him by inviting over some family members.  Those who were in town and not sick where there :)

 Jack and Liev showing off their tent...and below, some brotherly love (smothering!).

 Tom, the horse. 

(Sorry for the rotation on these - I'm not sure why Blogspot rotates them)

 Liev enjoying the contents of the fridge.  This is one of his favorite pastimes...when I let him!

 Jan and Jack on the Holiday Train.  They saw Santa and Mrs. Claus and a magician. 

Jack and his gingerbread house.

Happy Thanksgiving 2011!

Happy Thanksgiving all! 

We enjoyed a bountiful feast at some friend's house, along with my parents.

My mom getting her grandson(s) fix.

Our wonderful hosts, Harold, Dawna and William (hello cutie!).

Dad and Mom.  Liev checking out all her buttons.

Dawna's table design - very impressive!

Gobble, gobble - hope your day was wonderful.

Halloween

Liev is Jack's old Halloween costume and Jack is a "construction diesel locomotive," patterned after a train he owns.

For some reason, the blog is rotating these pics and I can't figure out how to rotate them back.  They are straight on my computer!  Oh well.

Jack and our iPad costume.
