They headed to one of my favorite spots in Bridgehampton and took pictures of one another. My my my...
It was cold and the grasses were sharp and prickly.

Trying to Catch Up on My Photography Slack-off
I don't know exactly why I stopped taking pictures around mid October. I think it had something to do with being immersed in several things that took my attention and focus, leaving very little play time. I also made a book from my blog posts of 2006 and I rarely used any personal photos. I had forgotten how differently I blogged back in those daze. I grabbed a lot of funny stuff from the internet back then. Anyone remember the "pet carrier"? LOL!!! It was from one of my earliest posts.
Anyway, we had a youth group Christmas party this past Wednesday at our house and I did take pictures. It was fun party, and LOUD, of course. I'm pretty sure I had a headache.
I'm sparing you the many pictures of the "mittens and kisses" race. But here are a few of them.
It was funny.
Some of them decided to just eat the kiss with the foil and all. (NOT ADVISABLE!!!)
Luke and Brandon wanted to be the last two team members to go.
Its more competitive that way.
Brandon won. I think he swallowed the kiss whole.
Anika hasn't been feeling well. Her tonsils are HUGE! Poor girl.
Terry selected a few of the older ones to read the story together, The Secret of the Gifts. I've never heard the kids sit so quietly for so long. Bravo kids. Bravo!!!
Next up was the Thursday Holiday Luncheon at the school.
Its always a very nice event.
These are the littlest guys.
Caleigh's classmates, Tre and Max.
I snagged a few photos of Anika's artwork in the display cases.
They are self-portraits. She loves art. It brings her a lot of joy.
After the luncheon was the annual volleyball game, seniors vs. teachers, staff (and guest parent)
Each player was announced with a humorous set of clever quips. I came out doing cartwheels... cuz I'm like that, yo.
It was a close game but the teachers won by 2.
Isn't Jennah cute?
Who is this adorable little surferboy? It's Nate way back in preK. I love all the ornaments from the kids from when they were so little.
This is another one of my favorites given to the girls by Grandma Peele a year or two ago.
We did in fact have a family get together which was last night. There is a new addition to the family. Surfer. He is 4 months old. Imagine having a blue-eyed puppy?
The menorah was lit for the third night.
Dylan was being his adorably loving self.
As was Sienna and Ava. I love those kids.
Caleigh's pretty cute too.
We discovered a bust sitting next to the fireplace and couldn't resist. Do you know who this man is? And can you make a face to resemble him, because its harder than it seems.
Some of the people are masters at the frown.
But its hard to get the mouth and the eyes to get just the right expression.
David may be on to something.
I think Luke is a little tight in the mouth. hee
Epic fail for me!!!
Nope! Anika. HAHA
Johnny may have the eyes but he's lost it in the mouth... unless he just needs a bit more beard and mustache.
I should have had Russ take off his glasses.
Cute Jennah, but he's not really pouting.
Baaahhaha--Dylan. He said he doesn't like to make that kind of face.
Good try Caleigh.
Oh my dear Lizzy. She definitely reminds me of a muppet.
We played dirty santa, where according to your number you pick a gift from the pile and open it in front of everyone. The next person to pick, can either steal someone else's gift or pick one from the pile. If your gift is stolen you get to choose another one... either someone elses' or one that hasn't been opened yet. Its quite humorous. Luke got the whole set of Lord of the Rings Pez dispensers. Heh heh.
The rest of the night was spent digesting all the good food and playing with the puppy.
Such a cutie.
Merry Merry Christmas. Good cheer. Happy holidays.
