Fresh out of the box with all components
Concentration, strategy, and coordination will pay off!
You can tell when it is getting close to Christmas at Hacienda JoeyDennyEmma. The gals are constructing a gingerbread house, "Scrooged" is on the television, and there is a recently opened box of Enstrom's milk chocolate butter toffee on the shelf, thanks to the gang in Chicagoland. Gracias to Aunt Laurie, Porkchop, et al.
The g-bread house is a work in process. Emma learned to say the word "dang" from the construction foreman, but they are having a great time together. Perhaps a completed photo will be in a subsequent post. The roof keeps sliding. Instructions are for the weak.
Christmas is only ten days out, and it will be here before you can say "virgin eggnog." We actually put up a few lights and a festive wreath above the garage this year. Not too bad for us, but when compared to the neighbors, a wimpy effort. That's ok, something to build on. The cove does look festive though.
We donated two racks of smoked ribs for a Sub for Santa auction, and they are about to come off the Green Egg. I wonder what the neighbors think about peach wood smoke wafting through the 20 degree air. Gotta love the BGE.
Andy and Kat are through with school until January, so they can breathe a little easier. They sure work hard, those two. Emma sure enjoys their visits. There will be another post next week, as there have been photos taken that need to be shared with all, so keep checking in. OK then.

The construction foreman's parents are extremely relieved to know that it was only "dang" Emma learned.
Thanks for the update and pics.
Not all of us are created equal you know. I secretly contain encrypted answers to life's most perplexing mysteries..santa's cell phone #...why a peanut butter sandwich, when dropped, always lands on peanut butter even when strapped to a cat..what football team "He" wants to win..why the devil is red, but prefers blue..
Can't wait to see pictures of the completed project! A very brave undertaking. I call it a complete day when cookies get frosted! Merry Christmas.
Love,
Emily and Co.
too cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like fun!!!
Happy Holidays
Luv, The J-Crew :D
Love Emma's smile in that first picture!
I love a Joe post. It's like I can hear him talking. Oh, and smoked ribs!! What a glorious Sub for Santa offering.
Awwwww! You look so cute together! Isn't it a fun Christmas? Such a fun age!

You tackled making a gingerbread house! Ahhh the learning curve of being schooled in the finer points of architecture whilst using powdered sugar and water!!! Loved the post - everyone looks hale, hearty and happy! Merry Christmas to you!
Love,
Aunt Barbie
A word about exterior Christmas decore. "D... it" I never get any help. Julia didn't come for Christmas this year and my enthusiasm for it went down the drain. I threw a few strands of white lights over the shrubs. Oops, there's still one string left on the camellia. I write this on Feb. 11th. There are no exterior Christmas lights in the Celestial realm. Only in outer darkness. They need the light and it's guaranteed to make for eternal damn, I mean "dang"nation.
