Hornucopia Christmas 2013

It all began with waiting at the airport...
At last, the first arrivals!
We celebrated the traditional Christmas BBQ lunch at Great Grandpa's place.







While we were there, we got ready for the grand family photo.
Silly photo.

Nice photo - now with Mark and Ada.

The next day, there was lots of "Cousin Fun".







There were a couple of trampoline outings.

More Cousin Fun.






We celebrated Ada's 2nd birthday - a tiny bit early.




Some relaxing happened, too.


Thank you, everyone. We had a wonderful time!

Tree Trimming

The ice damaged some limbs on the tree behind the shed. We trimmed them off today.
Eventually, the City crew came and took the piles of branches away. Hooray.

Tree Parts

The downed tree limbs are now by the curb. Happily, the City has offered to do a special "ice limbs" curbside pick up, without having to bundle everything in 4 foot lengths.

There were a few firewood-size branches, so they were cut into stove logs. They are currently contributing to our back yard log sculpture.

It's a work in progress.

Christmas Tree

We got the tree up. Lights only, so far.

Except Mimi probably won't want to keep the Sock-Angel.

Ice Storm

We had a little ice storm last week.


It was hard on the trees.

Danielle's Birthday

Today we celebrated Danielle's upcoming anniversary of birth. The fun began with reviewing some past photos of her younger years.

She opened her presents starting with small and working up to large.

The jingle bells-fluffy pencils caused a timeout for a happy dance.

Great-granddad's gift was next.

The big wish-list item was baby doll bunk beds with wheeled animal toys.
The doll is climbing into the upper bunk.

No birthday is complete (at least around here) without the traditional birthday sundae and candles.
... and lots of chocolate syrup!

Happy Birthday, Danielle!!
