Ryan's Gift

This year Ryan received a gift from Brandon. Brandon had made 3 welded metal pieces of art for Ryan, but this years was outstanding! (I wonder if Brandon will try to out-do himself in the future) Ryan was impressed. We came home and I was told to place it by Ryan's elk rack (a place of pride for sure). Here is the picture. In the fish's mouth is a fly!

Christmas Love

Perfection

I never played this game as a child. I was not missing out. Let's just say that the box said ages 5+. I think I would like to know who the 5 year old is who can do this. Anyway, I will just say Ryan and Elisha must have cheated (or they are brilliant). All the rest of us gave it our best. Except Mom. She chose not to play at all! Maybe she is the smart one.

Family

Sleepy eyes and Grandma

This is rare. Daphne prefers Daddy's, Grandpa's, Uncles,etc... She usually takes a week or so to connect enough with a female, to sit and snuggle. She warmed up to grandma and nearly fell asleep! What a treat!
