Flat Screen for the Bedroom
Spendy xmas gift but we'll enjoy this for watching our favorites. Battlestar Galactica, 24, Prison Break, CSI, CSI Miami, Law and Order, Survivor, ER, Two and a Half Guys. T I V O R O C K S
The house video system runs off of a Two Channel Modulator coupled with those IR Targets on each tv. It broadcasts the satellite system on channel 45 and the DVD player on channel 47. So, if you are in a guest room and want to watch a dvd, no problem, it won't interfere with us watching something off of TIVO.

Dog Goggles
Indy didn't seem to mind her new fashion accessory until Gema told her she looked like Paris, then Indy had to say Gema looked like Brittney and then all hell broke loose.

Christmas Cookies

The annual decorating fest was held at the Greene mansion on the hill. A half a pound of butter, a gallon of icing, ok not a gallon, 4 hours of baking and decorating yielded 9 dozen confectionery delights. This years gang was Chandelle, Patty, Denise, Cassie, Jackson, and Katy. Jackson only had to wash his hands 3 times before giving up. We should have a few of these stored away in the freezer if you want to try one...

6th Grade Team Christmas Dinner
We were really happy when the Prime Rib turned out perfect. This was my first try at cooking a whole rib. Lindsey's Yorkshire pudding also turned out perfect, it was her first time to bake her grandmothers recipe. Everyone had a great time, a few conversations were loud enough that Julie gave us an earfull to let us know that she couldn't hear herself talk. Great group of people!

Xmas Dog Trick
We taught Gema to turn the tree lights on and off her first Christmas. We have a touch sensor (the gold tree) that's activated by a wet nose. Indy is a bit more of a challenge, she'll get it eventually. Today I heard them rough housing in the living room and when I went to spy on them, I found the tree lights were on.

Delle's Christmas Cactus
We were pretty surprised to find flowers on this cactus. We think it bloomed because we abused it this summer, not a lot of water or sun. We have another Christmas Cactus that grows well but has never bloomed. We have already been thinking evil thoughts? on how to make it bloom for next year.
