Christmas Gingerbread Houses

Briana instituted a new (for us) Christmas tradition with the gingerbread house creations. The above masterpiece was Carolyn's.


The above creation was Briana's. Curtis especially liked the pond, even with a waterfall, on the left hand side.


The above dream home was Lucy's. We all thought this one had that look of surviving a wind storm.

Nursing School Acceptance

Briana was accepted into the School of Nursing at Azuza Pacific University (http://www.apu.edu/). She will begin January 5, 2007. They only accepted 5 - 10 nursing transfer students. She has worked very hard for this.


Today we gave her a stethescope. Doesn't she look very "nurse-like"?

Los Gatos Children's Parade

Lucy took Darcy and Skyler and participated in the Los Gatos Children's Parade.
Skyler, being a parade veteran, instructed Darcy on how to march in the parade. They did not mind wearing the costumes.
These were the CCI mascots.

Fishing

Jason, Eddie and Curtis went fishing again at Del Valle lake. Everyone caught something. Eddie caught a catfish and took it to his home pond. Jason and Curtis cleaned their fish. One will be Sunday's main course and the other will be the appetizer.
It's a dog (or fish) eat dog world. Be careful. Actually the big one turned out to be a female. It had lots of eggs inside.
