Christmas Break - Part 1

We aren't very good picture takers... we like to let our family take pictures for us... maybe that should be a New Years' resolution? Here are some of the pictures we took over our Christmas break.

The night we got home was the third annual Richards' Family Candy House Contest. If you have ever had doubts about our sanity, this contest will prove you right. We use more cardboard, plastic, and hot-glue than candy or frosting. This year we were up until around 1:00am working on our masterpieces. The theme was "Disney."

Lauren's Wedding Shower
(aka- friends get together to eat, craft, and catch up)

These are the cute blocks we made together for Lauren and Nate's future home. Turned out pretty good, don't ya think?!

On Christmas Eve it is a tradition for all the kids to sleep in the same room. We had lots of fun staying up playing "Catch Phrase" together. Jackson was nominated MVP with his theatrical interpretations of words such as "sign language", "ache", and "______".

This is Mr. Jack-man the next morning. He hasn't quite graduated to the traditional family stockings...
