Christmas Eve-2011

Mr. Adorable! 
'Specially like that bottom lip! 
Pajama Hunt....they are beginning to catch on!
Finn likes his best for throwing...he's got a great arm! 
Hmmm...are those for Levi? 
Levi liked these better! 
Potato Soup, hot wings, relish, ranch and bread....
and a FULL FAMILY table! 
Chess 
Kids at play! 
Special gifts from Dwobknock!
Banana....stick.... 
smoked oysters... 
a key...empty shell... 
a frosting container of dirt... 
some baby food,
 and I can't remember what Jenn got! 
And Dwobknock goes to.........
live with Grandpa and Grandma for a year!
You Lucky people!  Remember, prominent place! 
Ana looks awesome in hats! 
Great Grandpa Danny and Phinneas 
Hannah made it before the end of the evening. 
Happy Birthday, Jesus.  
We're so glad you're with us! 
Can you eat your ice cream, 
while the candle stays lit?
That is the question!
Hannah made it!  Jordan will be proud!
Isaac took great pleasure in 
whooshing mine out!  = } 
Ready for bed...by the tree! 
Levi sets up camp a little farther away. 
The crowd at the base of the tree is a bit thin this year.  
Lindsey did fill in the middle when she went to bed!  

Christmas Cookies

Baking Grandma's sugar cookies takes practice, and the only way to learn is just DO it!
Waiting for that scrap of dough!
Let the decorating begin!  Now cookie decorating is much different at the Lyman's house than Grandma's house.  It's a lot of FUN, but I can't say they are beautiful jewels to put on a plate to give away!  What we need is for Aunt Carol and girls to come for the next one, and we can sit back and watch!  But, until THAT happens, we will just be satisfied with the FUN of it all!
Travis adds lots of CRUNCH!
THAT ONE is very cute, Lindsey!
If you give a Lyman a cookie, he's gonna want frosting to go with it.....
