A B/CS Christmas

This was our year to have the friends over for our annual Christmas party. We always have a great time celebrating the season with great friends, good food, bubbly beverages, a few gifts, and LOTS of laughter!

The Dragers were there!

Shannon seems puzzled by her gift selection, but Shayne is having fun with it!

Stephanie is all smiles, listening to Chris's story!

Hmmm...Which present to choose???

Sorry, Jeremy, you won't get to keep that one very long!

See...

What could it be???

Electric Sex in the Window!!!

Yes, Steph, you HAVE to show the crowd!

Keep digging, there is more there than just tissue paper!

Honey badger don't give a @#$%!

Crystal's turn!

Shannon, it's not THAT bad, is it?

Another try for Jeremy; maybe you'll get to keep this one!

Merry Christmas To All!!!

Oh Christmas Tree!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the Kersten Casa! Now that Thanksgiving is over, it is time to drag out the Christmas decorations and decorate the tree, which is one of my favorite traditions!

Another tradition in our house is that Duane places the star on top of the tree.

Seems that I'm not the only one who enjoys the tree. Jacks grabbed a quick nap under the tree...

Oreo takes time out for a nap as well. And, this new tree skirt lasted all of 1 day. When I got home from school, it was in pieces all over the living room and the remnants were pulled halfway through the dog door. Apparently, Jacks thought the snowman was his first present of the Christmas season.

Of course, decorating the Christmas tree leads to another, less favored Christmas tradition... cleaning up the tree-decorating MESS!

Just A Normal Night At Home

A typical night in the Kersten Casa stars our four legged kids...

And their lives revolve around who has possession of the stringy toy!

The cat, of course, couldn't care less about the dogs' antics. He simply hides in the bedroom and naps!

Halloween Hauntings

Halloween is a always a fabulous and fun time, especially since we are usually celebrating our anniversary at the same time! After our anniversary movie outing was over, we headed out to Northgate to see all the ghouls & goblins!

HA!

JACK!

Thing 1 & Thing 2 made an appearance!

Where's Waldo?

There he is!!!

Little Green Army Men at your service!

Ewww... Wish this guy had stayed at the beach!!!

Speechless on this one...

Happy Anniversary!

Duane and I have been married now for FIVE YEARS!!! The celebration started on Thursday, when we purchased our new living room furniture, but the real celebration was on Saturday night, when we had visits from both in-laws, had dinner at Cafe Eccell (YUMMY!), & went to see The Ides of March.
