| Mission accomplished |
 |
| Cody was robbed of cheese from the Kebler elves |
 |
| Cody made an awesome spare ribs marinade this week: delicious! (Of course he'll never remember what the 'recipe' was) |
 |
| Not only on it, but in it |
 |
| What I came home to one day: he didn't get to the wrapping part, so he shoved my gifts in an old box and taped it up! |
 |
| Cody's wrapping skills |
 |
| SOMEONE forgot his gloves. and SOMEBODY was nice enough to lend him hers |

| We have yet to take our yearly lights driving tour, but we found this church on the way to the restaurant |

 |
| It finally turned warm enough to get our patio door open and scoop off the deck. |
