Pictures

Sorry for not posting in awhile. School has been realy busy. Here are some pictures of the past two weeks.

This is part of our first ever popcorn/cranberry string. Mom has wanted to do one for a long time, so we finaly sat down and did one-actually 3 and a half.

The rest are pictures from the Resurgence Christmas Party. Riley called me Arwen when I walked out, so that is who I was for the party. My grandmother made the dress and cape.
Coleton was The Black Arrow from Robert Louis Stevenson's book, The Black Arrow. If you've never heard of it, ask him about it. My grandmother made his cape, too.
Miranda was from the '50's. Samuel was a World War II bomber.
These are my favorite costumes. Julianne and Jami were very creative. Ju was Little John and Jami was Robin Hood.
So, what else have I been doing? Well, we were watching the Battaglia's dog, Thelma Lou, for a week with the prospect of keeping her, but she was a little too destructive for Mom's tastes. Ok, actually for everyone's tastes. So, maybe an older dog, or we'll get one later on down the road.

Ok, Connor W., here is my Christmas post. Every year we get together with both sides of the family. We see my dad's family first, usually the Sunday before Christmas, and have dinner and present-opening at my grandmother's house. We Snells have our own family Christmas starting on Christmas Eve with opening Secret Snat gifts. Then comes Christmas Day. It's usually a lazy day. We wake up around 6-7 in the morning, read the Luke Christmas Story and the Crusifixtion. Then we open presents and stocking, and then we have breakfast. Mom spends the rest of the day fixing Christmas Dinner. My mom's parents and brother and his wife come over on the Sunday after Christmas with pretty much the same routine, except we have finger foods.
