Happy New Year

I hope this post find everyone healthy and happy in 2012!

We rang in the new year by having the neighbors and their kids over. By the looks of my floor on the day after, it was a good party.

The mobile ping pong set was the best $20 I have spent in a long time.

Hmm....it would appear my daughter looks more ad more like me, except for the blond hair, every year.

Scenes from Thanksgiving Week

Hannah helped make some chocolate orange flavored cookies.  I'd post the recipe but I have already forgotten where I got it from........yeah, that is how I cook, rarely the same thing more than once.
Thanksgiving morning, Hannah was cooking the cranberries to make a yummy cranberry sauce.
The Thanksgiving table set for dinner. You know you live in Arizona when the front door is open to let the outside air in to cool the house.
A version of my Mom's "Christmas Tree Hunting" lunch (we used to cut our own back in Minnesota).  Mom's were bacon wrapped with the cheese in the middle but I put cheese in Hebrew National dogs and covered them with crescent rolls. 
Hannah wearing the Christmas tree skirt.
Simon with the wrapping from the outside tube lights.
The almost finished Christmas tree.
Simon with a craft project...yes, it is a volcano he is painting.
And he did mix vinegar and baking soda together with the neighborhood boys later in the weekend.

Happy almost holidays to everyone!
