The kids got to sled and be pulled by the 4-wheeler quite a bit in December. It is great to have a big yard, an empty field behind us, and some great neighbors (Gpa & Gma Roedel) who happen to have a few hills to slide down.

Christmas Trees and Gingerbread Houses
We trimmed two trees-one to go-and got most of the decorating finished...Dane even got some lights put up...2 gingerbread houses completed....two to finish...and some shopping done...all after having Thanksgiving at our house. Thank goodness my Mom did the turkey, gravy, cake and sweet potatoes. Quincee helped a lot this year. She helped make a lemon cream pie, crescent rolls, stuffing, hot corn dip, candied carrots and mashed potatoes! Dane did a lot of the clean up:). We are worn out!!!

The Clowning Cluprit
Quincee has been writing a lot of poems for her Honors English class...here is one:
As I walked into that weird looking house, I swore I saw a floating blouse
But it soon did disappear and as I did fear the clowning culprit was definitely here
I suddenly felt dizzy and the pop on the table got all fizzy
You shall see just how funny clowns can be a voice said to me
I toss and I turn but accidentally run into a blown up fern
I sat down on a couch just to get a rest but up came a huge gigantic laughing fest
A thud and a thump I landed on my head and got a big bump
The couch was just a hologram powered by a grapey jam
I saw the culprit and he started to throw a fit
Why aren't you laughing or just a smile he kept on saying for a while
Then a great idea came to him and then he said just watch my limb
His limb turned green and out of nowhere out came a County Fair
How did you do that I had to ask a bit of magic will do the task said the man in the mask
Now just think of anything I thought of him being the clowning king
Sure enough he turned into royalty, I dreamed he looked exactly like me
The next moment Bam!!! He turned into a little lamb
How could that be....Did he really look exactly like me?
I looked down to see a snow white soft fleece
I started having a craving for cheese
Pop pop pop-I turned into the swiss kind and out came mice
I would have never been able to find
I turned into a chocolate cake being put in the oven ready to bake
A sweet smell of chocolate just delish, I smelled the perfect dish
The smell brought me to my senses and I awoke right next to some fences
It was all just a dream no matter how real it just did seem
my nap now over I was vunerable to the chocolate rover
A perfect sensation just right to take on vacation
I ran inside just in time to grab the piece that looked like a lime
A bell started to chime as I bit into the perfect lime
But I fell asleep and dreamed I was in a jeep
It was all from the clowning culprit to good to be true
I felt the air as across the road the jeep flew
To remember I was part of the load as the jeep was being bumped across the road
One big family on vacation wishing for a great sensation

Pirates
Dane and I went to a Murder/Mystery dinner party with a Pirates of the Carribean theme. He was given the part of a witch doctor. I was assigned to be a tattoo artist. We had fun and I must say I was very impressed with his acting...(no I'm not kidding). He did the best impressions of the night.
