Ginger Bread Houses

Last saturday we took the kids over to the Grove Park Inn to see all the Gingerbread houses on display.  Little did we know, it was such a popular thing to do.  There were people and kids all over the place taking photos.  And a lot of people were wearing really nice clothing.  I know where we are doing our Christmas pictures next year.

Here are the kids enjoying a sleigh ride.  Just
one of many props set up for photo opts.  Wish
I had known.  I would have put cuter clothes
on the kids.
(Ruby had those sunglasses on
nearly the entire time!)

Doesn't Savannah look like gloom and doom.
This was the last group photo we took.
She acts like it was an all day affair!

Xander insisted on having his photo 
in front of this gorgeously TALL tree.
Back up people.  He wants the WHOLE
TREE in the shot.

Too cute to pass up.  Ethan shining his Daddy's
sneakers.

Savannah took this goof ball shot.
Not bad.  She could have used a better model.

This was my favorite ginger bread house, Err
carousel.  I can't believe people can be
so creative with food.

Very cute little bird houses.

One of my boys' favorite.
They are all about the castles.


Look at those 100 calorie oreos.
MMMMMMMM!!

Xander was quite disappointed that there was
not a single house available for us to eat.

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...

Scary Moment

Last night we had a bit of a scare in our house.  I was making dinner for the missionaries.  No my dinner was not scary!  I was making a pre-holiday meal, ham and the whole nine yards.  I had purchased fresh cranberries to make cranberry sauce.  Larry and I do not like cranberries but all of my kids do.  Ruby was anxiously waiting to eat and was dancing around in our small busy kitchen trying to help me.  To scoot her along, I gave her a fresh cranberry to nibble on. Less than 5 minutes later she began crying.  Larry had just gotten home so I thought she just wanted him to pick her up.  He did and she kept crying and holding her mouth.  He thought maybe she was teething, but those pesky 2 year molars came early.  I was stressed making the meal, I did not have time for tears.  But Larry would not stop crying about Ruby.  Just kidding. He was freaking out and her crying was uncontrollable so I checked on her.  Her lower lip had completely swollen up.  This was our first experience with a...
