Wolf Tracks: Riedel Christmas Eve

This year we had Christmas Eve at Uncle Ken and Aunt Leah's again. We had a soup bar and everyone made their favorite soup for each to try. Well, ours didn't quite make it out there in one piece. It spilled on the floor in the back seat. Oops. But the rest were yummy. I loved Auntie Angi's clam chowder and had two bowls.

What a gorgeous Family!

And Mom always lets us do a silly face picture. It helps us little ones want to take a nice picture knowing we will get to act like goofballs.

Grandmas, why no silly faces from you? I know you can do it! ;-)

Hanging out.

Then it was time for the 3rd Annual Family Talent Show.

The kids sang a couple of songs and then performed as a human pyramid. I wanted in on the action so they kindly let me sing along.

Grandma Mindy was the Money Fairy and looked up unclaimed money for everyone. She was popular! Dancing Dave was her assistant.

Aunt Mandi did a chemistry experiment and Wyatt assisted. For some reason when Mandi poured the liquids together the turned colors. But when Wyatt tried it didn't work. It must have been magic!

Finally Aunt Mandi showed him how to do it!

Dad stacked quarters on his elbow and flipped his arm and tried to catch them. He got to 25 or 30 quarters before he had to stop. I was walking by and he ended up hitting me in the head which promptly ended his talent.

Mom and me asked the rest of the cousins if they wanted to perform with us. We were doing our own rendition of Old Man Tucker (known to some of you as Old Dan Tucker).
