Merry Christmas 2011

Thanks auntie Lindsey for the soda machine...

A.J.'s stash...

Adeline's Caboodle...

Zeus grew a beard and donned a Santa Suit...I know, I know we are totally annoying pet people...refer to previous posts to see how it all happened.

Adeline had her Christmas piano recital at the University of Utah...she rocked the Chipmunks Christmas solo! Next she performed in her schools show choir Christmas Extravaganza...WoW..busy girl!

Trimming the Tree

I am sure everyone out there has a Christmas Tree Tradition...ours just happens to be the best, wink, wink. There are a few very important main ingredients to make it just right...

Firstly-Food! Not just any old food but spray can cheese with chicken in a bisquit crackers, Katawba Sparkling Cider, Chocolate covered cherries, orange sticks and other goodies are a must.

All that "health food" really gave us the boost we needed to take our tree over the top!

Crusin'

As many of you know, every other year the Stowe, Rupp, etc. etc. etc. clan flies somewhere south of the equator (thank heavens) and soaks up the sun for a week in December.

This year we went on a 7 day mexican riviera cruise with stops in Puerta Vallerta and Cabo.

Thanks Mom and Keith...it was awesome!
