BAM - The Annual Bake-Off

Today marked the annual Christmas season BAKE-OFF! Millie's Mom joined The Gardener in the kitchen this year. The Golfer provided back-up support as did The Executive Chef. The EC was *amazing* and baked and baked while in town for a Thanksgiving visit. Those goodies came out of the freezer this morning and were delivered this evening along with items baked today. Chocolate stars and cherries were very popular this year!

Sticking with tradition, The Gardner does the baking and assembly, The Golfer handles delivery. First delivery this year was to John and Diana across the street. Diana said to The Golfer "Where's your Santa hat?" so he pulled it off The Incredible Hulk in the Man's Den and donned it for future deliveries.

Thanks to Millie's Mom and The Executive Chef for all of their help this year. This event takes a lot to pull off, especially for someone not so great it the kitchen. When the Gardener was growing up, The Executive Chef always made treats and delivered them to the neighbors and she made it look so easy and enjoyable. This is HARD WORK! The Gardener needs tomorrow off from work!

BAM - The Karate Kid

Last Saturday night The Karate Kid stayed over and boy were he and The Gardener busy! He helped TGa wrap Christmas presents and he picked out all the bows! He also did a puzzle with TGa and specifically asked that the photo be posted in that place "where everyone looks at pictures". He may have meant a blog, he may have meant Facebook but one thing is for sure, TGa promised she would do it. Here it is! RoRo - please make sure he sees this posting!

BAM - Update on The Fighter

The Fighter got great news last week....no cancer in the bone marrow! While normally this would be cause for a celebratory cartwheel, The Gardener is still recovering from the July 4th cartwheel. The Fighter is just that.......a FIGHTER!!! Love you J!

BAM - Guess who turned 1?

Long time, no post. Busy living our fabulous lives filled with ordinary advenures. Lots to post but of most importance, GUESS WHO HAD A BIRTHDAY? None other than that little guy who gets most of the attention on this blog, Birdman!!!!

Since Birdie doesn't eat real food yet (still has a feeding tube along with oral feeds), to celebrate his birthday, RoRo arranged to have her Dad (a minister) christen Birdie in their home. Much

to The Gardener's disappointment, this event was missed by TG&TG because of a trip to Phoenix booked over the summer many months prior to this being scheduled. A return the Monday before Thanksgiving created big issues in getting on an earlier flight. With all that being said, the pictures from the event are wonderful and here's one to share. Birdie is wearing the same outfit The Karate Kid wore when he was dedicated at church, love the tradition. The Gardener is very much looking forward to celebrating with Birdie, just as soon as this cold/sinus issue/whatever it is goes away.

IS THIS ONE CUTE MIRACLE OR WHAT?!

Mad Scientist Day

So, it was Mad Scientist Day at school. These photos are of TG&TG's Godsons that live in Florida. Love these kids! Love their very creative parents! These are the same kids that were "jumpin' the plank" in a previous post.
