Feeding the Reindeer

Cameron made reindeer food at school and was given specific directions to sprinkle it before you went to bed on Christmas eve. It's so cute the things they do at is school. It's was of the nice things about being in a small town, it doesn't worry much about being politically correct. The school celebrated "Holloween" and they celebrate "Christmas", "Santa" and all the wonderful things about this season.

Here they are sprinkling the food. Our snow melted away on the 23rd, :-(
Our county had a flood warning because it melted so quickly. Our drainage was full and flowing fast. If it would have been summer the boys would have been swimming in it.

Magic Reindeer Food
Sprinkle on the lawn at night.
The Moon will make it sparkle bright!
When Santa's reindeer fly and roam,
This will help them find your home.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy Birthday Chris! Tyler and I made Chris Brownies for his birthday. Tyler is my helper in the kitchen. He'll mix, crack and pour ingredients and Cameron is my taster. He loves to taste the whatever we are making.

Happy Birthday.

We went to Skaneateles, Ny to the Dickens Festival. It was great to see Scrooge and all the other characters walking around town, Unfortunately it got cold really quick. However, Cameron and I (mom) went to the Chamber of Commerce and rented costumes to keep us warm. Cameron looked like Tiny tim.

Tyler was so excited to see Santa. Tyler asked Santa for a Jack In the Box and Santa let out a big laugh and said the elves LOVE making jack in the boxes! Tyler had the most beautiful smile.
Cameron asked for a transformer by the name of SCORPONOKS. He was pretty happy when Santa knew it was a transformer. Santa teased both of the boys for a minute making sure they had been good this year. He asked the boys if they helped with the dishes, cleaned their rooms, and changed the oil in the cars. Cameron just kept nodding, say yes, uuha, and yup. It made Chris and I laugh. It was really cute.

Here we are, December 2007

First Big Snow!

Right on time, December 1st, it snowed. This was a few days later when it really snowed. They cancelled church on Sunday and cancelled school on Monday. Cameron, and Tyler had fun playing in the snow. Mikaela and I stayed inside where it was cozy. It was fun to watch the kids having fun. I think I'll pass on the snow. Just the thought of having a snowball hit the back of your neck and quickly slide down the back of your neck is enough to keep me away from the powdery stuff.
Obviously the kids didn't mind. Our neighbor was using his snow blower to clear his driveway and his girls and my Cameron liked having the snow blown on them. Like I mentioned before, NO Thanks!
Here is Tyler, my peanut, in the snow. He was tired after a couple of hours of hard play in the snow. He had a grin from cheek to cheek. Daddy pulled him on the sled behind the 4 wheeler. Tyler could have done that for hours. He was so happy.
