New Year's Day 2011

Happy New Year we are over at Mike's parent's house waiting on his brother to arrive, so we are starting work on the annual Ginger bread houses.
Adam and Derek have military men and slugs for theirs, while Lindsay and Brooke go the marshmellow, gum drop route for their houses.

Here is Uncle David coming in to check on how things are progressing.

Grandma is helping Lindsay with her icing/glue.

She is happy that she has her 4 walls erect and together. We will move on to roofs and decorations after dinner.

Daddy is working on Brooke's house for her.

The Christmas Tree still up for New Year's.

I get the "evil eye" from Lindsay for taking too many pics of her.

Daddy and Brookie work on her house.

Brooke's house is really coming together nicely.

Brooke gets to spread her own icing with Dad's help.

Lindsay is still figuring out where her peppermint logs are going to go.

Now we are grooving.

Brooke is in major concentration mode, you can tell by looking at her tongue!

Just have to add some purple gum drops now!

Thanks to Aunt Helen and Uncle David for bringing all the goodies for the kid's to have fun and work on their houses. I think everyone had a lot of fun!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

WELCOME IN 2011

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME LAST NIGHT AT RICK'S HOUSE. THE GIRLS HAD A BALL ALL PLAYING PRINCESS AND EVEN LET LITTLE ASHER INTO THE PRINCESS ROOM ONE OR TWO TIMES. TO ALL MY FAMILY AND BLOGGER FRIENDS THAT WILL BE READING THIS I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT, SAFE, NEW YEAR'S EVE AS WE DID. WE ARE HEADING OVER TO MIKE'S PARENTS FOR OUR TRADITIONAL NEW YEAR'S MEAL. You know you have to eat a little (greens for money) and a little (black-eyed peas for luck) Neither of which I like or Mike...but we eat it anyway. Soon I will post a montage of my favorite photos from 2010 when I get time and can stay up late enough to do it. I have been working on it on face book but the new year is here and the update is not done.

Much love & happiness to all of you throughout the new year!!

Love,

The Bresnans

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!
