Ok so several weeks behind, so sorry. This week was the annual cookie decorating contest. There were some winners, and some upset not winners, some just made cookies and ate them, others were forced to participate. 
Some of our Wichita blondies making frosting for us. Not sure what Kendal is doing there? snapping her fingers? no she is stirring frosting

my beautiful girl and Cody. 

John Trimmer well on his way to being adopted status, he does our dishes and helps clean up. 

Frosting girls, Kendal is still laughing

The guys brimming with excitement for cookie decorating!

Our dog Chewie laying in the way

Payton squared, notice Payton Ott with his festive sweater. Payton Flippo is using a backpack to keep people from sitting next to her. 

We had some sort of soup



hahahaha nice

We will miss you Micha mike (he is not dead just moved away and got a job)

I think that I need to clean my phone camera, some of our favorite blondies and Calvin. 

Nice surprise face, like a little boy at Christmas

Luke squared here bellying up to the bar

"Dan please go away and stop taking my picture"
ah Judah my youngest, I am jealous of his hair. 

My wife is scowling at something. Probably something I did. 

So the ratio is pretty good here for the two boys. 

Ahh Ryan, another adoptee for the Flippos

over the years we have had many people bring dogs, Chewie appreciates it. 



Melia, Elaina, Talia, Sophie


Cookie decorating

Calvin got very into this after he was made to do it. 


The 3 winners, CAlvin in the 3d category (prize was a can of refried beans), Kendle in the beautiful category (box of baking soda), and Braden in the creative category (Chili beans). 





CAlvin stuffed the whole thing into his mouth, I think he learned this from his dad owning several dairy queens. 

some of the cookies

Braden's cookie, kind of strange. 



They are marveling at their prize. 

haha she is learning what to use it for

not so excited anymore

what it is used for odors?


umm someone stole my phone and took a selfie

  Hello parents! Sorry I am so slow with this. This last week we had Mediterranean food, whatever that means. It was chicken.  I get tired of the kids all sitting in their little groups, so I set up tables based on birth month. I would have thought that they would be evenly dispersed but no, I guess it makes sense that us parents like to cuddle in the Fall-winter. (don't tell my wife I wrote that).   Below is the July August table, with the most people.  Aleksey Preening. The above pictures you can tell that I need to clean my camera lens.  a good shot of Braden, also Micha in the background doing? Ahh Payton sporting the Frog and Toad shirt.  Cheer up you two! Haha, she makes me smile. I call this face "jack o lantern eyebrows" Here is the September-October table Nutter got the hammock. I think it made the meal more Mediterranean for him! Here is the November-December birthdays way out in the yard.  May - June table! Payton was all alone at ...

Welcome back parents! It's a new year and new dinners! we served breakfast for dinner (one of our favorites) to about 50 kids, it was really fun to have them back. I was sick last week with the COVID so we had to wait. We have the older crowd that come and help cook, yes Jamie did actually wash some dishes this time.  Nathan and Alexa came early to help cook and decorate.  Eric and Anna are helping again this year, Eric brought a whole pile of sausages.  Nice innocent face Grace, you're not fooling anyone.  Here is Braden, better known as "pinky" Ahh Micha, Can you believe this guy will be influencing the corporate world next semester? Here are the "Strong Western Men", They lead a study in West hall for the strong complex (other dorms) Jason Nutter or "the nutter kid" as I have always called him.  Eliza with the surprise gravy face.  Mara with the bored gravy face. Here is Ryn, the college students are getting younger.  Anna carrying several plate...

 Hello parents of the coolest college kids on campus, (that is alliteration) don't be impressed, I thought that alliteration started with an "I".  This week we had taco salad and chocolate cake. In Chinese you would call it qio-ke-la dan gao. If your impressed that I know that, I can also say "ice cream" in like 5 languages, but it doesn't mean I can spell in my own language.  John Trimmer on the left was suspiciously watching over the cake.  my beautiful bride, not sure what she is doing. I will probably get in trouble for this picture. I thought you parents would want to see who cooks for your kids. It's a dramatic pose. Angie once got an award for a dramatic presentation. She is a natural at it. Just image that she is saying: "Oh Dan, I am exceedingly obliged to you for capturing my likeness! You possess such a wonderful artistic sensibility, truly you do. I dare say you could rival any photographer in all of Avonlea - nay, in all of Prince Edwar...
