Christmas Diddies

Our 2007 Christmas festivities began with a 12 hour journey to the great province of Garden City Kansas. Maggie watched out the window as we flew over the Candy Cane Forest, and the land of Swirly Twirly Gum-Drops, and the Lincoln Tunnel.
When we arrived in Garden City Kansas Maggie finally met her uncle Titus, who happens to be a dog, and Maggie absolutely LOVES dogs!!!

Weary from the journey, Maggie then ate a feast of bodatious brocolli.
By this point everyone was having a great time, but it was painstakingly obvious that no one amongst the entire group was made out of snow...so we made a snowman.
Then we decided that it would be a good idea to meditate on the birth of God into the world - as He humbled Himself to the point of taking on flesh in the person of Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, the second person in the Godhead, our Savior & our King. So we got dressed up and went to Christmas Eve worship service.
By this point we were all getting hungry, but we knew that no regular type of cuisine would do...so we made a ginger bread house. This is the ginger bread house pre-decorated.
This is the finished product. The architects/designers of the house are featured in the photo above, as you can see.
Then, in the spirit of the season (the spirit of giving), Maggie received presents!
Here is Maggie with an ark full of animals (no relation to Noah's ark), given to her by her Aunt Melodee.
Then we traveled one hour to the southeast to a land called "Dodge City" where Maggie played with a little man named Jordan!
In the land of Dodge City Maggie received an education from a man named Wayne about farming. Wayne is what you might call an "Expert Farmer" in these regions of the world.
Having received a thorough farming education, Maggie went straight home and began to practice. Here she is practicing her tractor driving.
The day after Christmas, Maggie came down with a serious case of K-State Christmas fever!
Finally, Grandpa D.O.G. gave Maggie some good old fashion Kansas bull riding training!
