Merry Christmas

Wow...we have been only sporadically on line in the past month. We've had major computer malfunctions, which included a necessary purchase of a new laptop. Thanks Mom and Dad for the early Christmas present! ;)

So now we are back on line and I have finally had time to post. The girls and Dennis and I are all off together this week for Christmas break, so we have been trying to just enjoy hanging out together. We have been slowly opening presents....we usually have a week long Christmas at our house, where we let the girls open presents one or 2 a day until Christmas to allow them to enjoy each gift more and keep the excitement going longer! ;) Here are some photos....Emily got a princess game where you try to gain jewelry......and no, Dennis is not trying to venture out into cross-dressing...it's all in the name of the game. He took it like a man and won the game! ;)

I haven't been able to post since Thanksgiving, so here are ALL kind of photos from the past month. Enjoy, and MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Minnis clan!! ;)

Last month, the girls got to take care of the rats we borrowed from Mrs. Corbett at Dennis' school. She lets us borrow pets from her classroom to bring home and them out! ;) I have to say the rats were my least favorite....i liked the guinea pig the best!
