Ho Ho Ho!

Although we were still reeling from the move, we managed to squeeze in some Christmas fun. Most of the time, however, it seemed like a comedy of errors. Am I ever going to get a grip again?
We decorated a Gingerbread House...
Here's the finished producet. I especially like the "U" on the tree--courtesy of Andrew of course.
Each kid decorated a side and then we hot glued it all together. Martha Stewart, eat your heart out!The Moore Family Party was at our house this year. Look at all the cute cousins!We opted for the 6 foot sandwiches from Spanky's. I am so glad we did. And this year, for the Nativity at Mimi's we all drew to see who we got to be. I know, that's me--Moooo. The only reason I even considered posting this humiliating picture is because I got my braces off a few days earlier. So, check out my pearly whites!
We got the kids to bed late and so it was around 11 when we started putting together the ping-pong table. It wasn't too bad, so we opend the Foosball box. Here is Frank getting out all the pieces. Are you kidding me?!? Those little packages are full of screws, bolts, and tons of little pieces. I took this picture around 3 a.m. Now, on to wrap presents!We pulled it all together--although it wasn't the prettiest wrapping job this year. Lots of things got thrown under the tree in Wal-mart bags, but nobody seemed to mind.
Christmas Day was great! The little boys played with toys.I know it looks like a space shuttle, but it doesn't say NASA on it or I wouldn't allow it. The big boys worked on their lego sets.Frank made a delicious breakfast of French Toast Waffles. And right after this picture, we took a long winter's nap because we were trashed.Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

What great memories that foosball table will bring and love that picture of Frank, it says it all! And maybe all your comedy of errors have to do with that red flag you have hanging in your front window! I hear blue brings better luck (we have one you can borrow if you want to try)

First stop on our next trip is the Moore basement for ping pong and foosball! Frank rocks for putting it all together. Merry Christmas :)

Hope Frank was happier after his long winter's nap! We did the same thing. Can't wait to come visit and play. Sure MISS you guys. Sorry we didn't make it over before Christmas but we did try and you weren't home. We will be visiting soon!
