It was fun to watch Emily and Ethan and Hannah
our eldest granddaughter create these Christmas Mice
I have included pictures of them creating this
yummy treat for you to see the finished mice and of
course to show off three people who John and I
love very Much.

Mice. Christmas 2005.
This is one of my favorite pictures from last years
Christmas.
I love unposed pictures and capturing people doing what comes
naturally...
Ethan really got involved with the tasting part! I love these
guys so much what fun they had!
