Twas the weeks before Christmas

Tis the season for.....

Tree trimming.


Candy making for co-workers.




Late night card playing with boys who get helmets for Christmas and wear them (and share them!) 24/7.


Relaxing weekends away visiting sweet college friends.




These are especially fun when one of those friends is........




Making sure Baby Casen is all fixed up right.




More goody-making for more work parties.


Late night excursions to see Christmas lights with Moesha, Marls, PaulSon, and Sean.


(Enjoyed in part by the preceding late night trek to the movie theater - not for a movie, but for a quick run-in to refill up 2 popcorn buckets. With a side of large Sonic drinks of course.)


Making memories by getting lost on way to seeing the lights, driving 30 minutes, and only one house being lit up. :-)




Taping Big Al's Final Thoughts on the 2011 season.

Watching ready-for-cooking casseroles and Christmas dinner fixins mulitply.
