Christmas Past

I may be way late getting this posted, but I would like to have people post great stuff on their blogs even if it is of events long ago. A great memory like this one of Grant and Conrad with their Silly Straws...can't be beat! Grant was enthused and since he was pretty sure this may be all he was getting this Christmas (moms purchase from Aaron Brothers) he made the best of it.


And we all loved the treasure box sent from Wade and Andrea!






Victoria and Grant did their own shopping this year and Victoria picked out this beautiful scarf for her Nanny. Grant got what he wanted, a superior set of Lego's with help from his own wallet! Surprise!

My beautiful bike is also very useful for transporting food in the great basket. Troy may have thought he should be embarrassed by riding a bike with pink wheels, but I always have thought that real men look even more manly in Pink. He carried it off well didn't he? And the food was all delicious!





The Happy Family. I enjoyed every moment with our loved ones.

And mom made her special Grasshopper Pie! Yum!

Oh, and the kids ended up getting new bikes, which FIT! They were pretty surprised. Now we just need to accessorize!

What is a duffer?

Roger said...

Well...according to the dictionary, it means
a. a plodding, clumsy, incompetent person.
b. a person inept or inexperienced at a specific sport, as golf.

Usually, when I refer to an 'Ol Duffer it usually relates to meaning b. It's just a derogitory comment I have gotten into the habit of using...no real meaning, actually.

Now I realize I was with Grant & Victoria while they were buying the scarf. They said something about picking it out for Mom and I didn't catch on. Pretty cagey! I like it alot. Good taste, you two!
