This is our Christmas card for all of those who didn't get it. I can't believe it is Christmas. I am shocked and sadened to think this wonderful holiday is coming to a close. I hope you are all enjoying your family and/or traditions. I am grateful for our Savior and all that He has done for us as His brothers and sisters. Merry Christmas once again and a Happy New Year.

I Think He Knows
I thought it was cute that he was playing under the table, I mean he is just the right height. So we played a little.
He acted a little bugged.
He tried to push me away, and then I thought to myself... I wonder if he is hiding from me for some reason?
And then I both saw and heard it... he was doing his business. I think he knows it might be a private matter... he is becoming aware of a dirty diaper. We might be on the road to no diapers... then I say to myself... ya right, like I would be so lucky as to have a child potty trained by two.
Icey Daggers
I looked out Kevin's bedroom window yesterday and noticed how HUGE the icicles were. So I took a picture. Then I looked today and had to take another picture to document the growth in just one day. As you can see yesterday this big icicle was probably 3 feet long. And today that thing is at least 5 almost 6 feet long and much much thicker. I can not believe how many more icicles we have today than yesterday.
Look at that thing it is SOOO long!!
Since yesterday at 5:00 we have recieved at least 8" of snow on top of the foot we got on Tuesday, the 5 inches we got on Monday and the 6-7 inches we got on Saturday night. It sure has been crazy. I wish we still had our subaru.

Christmas Game Night
Please sing to the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree"
"Oh Gingerbread oh Gingerbread, how yucky is your frosting
Oh Gingerbread oh Gingerbread, it really is disgusting,
It's not that it just tastes gross,
but it is also worthless
Oh Gingerbread oh Gingerbread, how yucky is your frosting."
Saturday was game night, we decorated gingerbread houses. We were all to lazy too make actual gingerbread. Most of us bought those kits from Wal-mart.
Let me just save you some wincing by telling you now that you should NOT taste the frosting that comes with the kit. It really does taste like glue, so just save yourself the trouble.
Also another good tip... do NOT line your WHOLE roof with skittles, as they are very heavy and the frosting that comes with the kit will NOT hold up under the pressure. As you can see the roof is sliding off as the picture is being taken. All the malt balls on top fell into the house later revived it by resorting to HOT GLUE!! Yup I can always count on my trusty glue gun to get the job done!!
After the roof fiasco I took a quick shot to show off our handy work.

But the rest of the gingerbread houses were pretty much amazing.
Take a look at Josh and Megan's Pentagon replica.
It even has a courtyard in the center of it and although you can't see them very well... my personal favorites are the "Santa" guards and the Santa sniper on the roof who used pretzels as machine guns.
I just realized that I didn't get pictures of the other two houses all finished so you will have to settle for "in the process" pictures
Andi and Curtis having a little fun. They by far had the best fence which was made out of pretzels and frosting which looked like snow.
Greg and Jessica just getting started. Theirs looked wunderbar when they were finished.

Hi, my name is Kevin... but my mom is going to change my name to Kevin McSicky !!
I have itchy eyes and a runny nose, and my poop is well... you don't wanna know. I am tired all the time but I don't sleep very good... being sick sure is sad. My mom says I have to go to bed now, I'm tired anyway. Goodnight!!
