A couple of funny videos...



Caleb shake


Caleb falls.

Christmas preparation photos. Here are a few photos of us picking out the tree, making gingerbread houses and playing with toys from the pirate party. I'm uploading videos to Utube and posted them here to watch. Our digital camera just broke so a lot of pictures are from the video camera and not very good quality. Hopefully the videos will help. (Like Loren's mustache?-Don't worry he shaved it off, just seeing how he'd look as an officer of the peace). And yes, I did dye my hair red, but it's only temporary. It's already faded quite a bit. Also a photo of two two chickens Betty and Sheila, Nolan's new bathroom reading material and the addition after the trailer was removed and before we added a wall. More to come!

Avast matey! Pirate party fun!! Argh!
