and if it wouldn't be too much, a little somethin' for you, Clark

Ok, so have you guys looked at the poll lately? Who are the big cheaters here? We don't even have that many people in our family! At any rate, I'll take a second to encourage you to make your trips to DI or Savers for your Ugly Christmas Sweaters. Let me open it up a little. I don't care what it is; sweaters, sweatshirts, jumpsuits, vests, pajamas, dresses, a black dickie...whatever makes you feel festive! And don't forget the little kiddies..use your imagination a little. I laid out all of our outfits last night and could not stop laughing!

Prizes will be awarded, including one for the best overall family participation. There will also be bonus points if it came from your own closet! -Tiffany

The Spirit of The Festival of Trees

I hope you all made it to the Festival of Trees....Andrew had a favorite Gingerbread house...although MANY were SO impressive, he begged me to take a picture of this one....Sorry Marsh, Michael, Tim, and Jeff! (and various of your offspring!)

Though perhaps not your favorite place on earth, I thought the creativity behind this was fun. They even included the Ute section and the scoreboard if you look closely....

The Press boxes are there, and the stadium lights were made of pretzels and lemonheads. Mom said that I missed capturing the other video board that had a picture of football players on it. Note the small cougar above in the bottom left-hand corner. Fun.
