The Mouse Family Blog

Here's a short video of Bryce, our nephew. For his size, it's hard to believe that he's just six months old.

Our judges have awarded the prize to the ladies, and their lovely church.

Thanks Derrick and Christina!

That's the photo of them from their going-away party.

Tonight, the couples from our small group got together to create gingerbread houses. We split up into teams of men and women.

We won't tell you which project belong to which group, because our creations are being judged by a former couple from our group that moved to New York.


Each team was given an identical set of building materials. The materials include several boxes of graham crackers, a couple gallon orange juice boxes, and several large pieces of cardboard.

The lovely church features an intricately designed round stained glass window. The surrounding grounds include a nativity scene and sledding hill. Mr snowman is was not part of the supplied materials -- we guess he just decided this would be a nice place to hang-out. At the nativity, a flock of animal crackers gaze calmly at the Teddy Graham baby Jesus. Mary and Joseph bare an uncanny resemblance to white chocolate candies served at Cory and Michelle's wedding.

The merry-go-round is functional, rotating on a layer of jelly-beans. The carousel features columns made of peppermint candy canes and animal cracker "rides." The carousel is flanked by a boardwalk of pretzels sticks and rounded by a fence of pretzel twists. The front steps feature another lovely young couple who were also in attendance at Cory and Michelle's wedding. The surrounding grounds are covered with pine trees of green frosting, and a snowman made of white meringue peppermint puffs.

We hosted an engagement party for Ben and Colleen at our place. It was a nice opportunity to show-off our $26 Christmas tree that turned out to be HUGE when we got it home. Everyone enjoyed the food we prepared. Unfortunately, the photo of Ben and Colleen didn't turn out. :(

This is a picture from last Christmas, when we took a trip over to Disneyworld.

As you can tell, Mickey took a real liking to my Mrs. Mouse.

Looking back through our comments, we just realized that our friends Vicki and David had posted comments from Ethan and the Snyder Family blog. So here is a shout-out to them.









Also, here's a nod to our long-time favorite family blog, The Pogany's.
