Big Frosty

We had a lot of fun building a Big Frosty! When it snows, we must make a snowman, and Calista is always the first to start!

Christmas

We had a very fun Christmas morning.

Pre Christmas Fun

We had a lot of fun spending time together. Eden and Jerry had a lot of fun making cookies while Calista had fun making cookies for Santa with friends.

10th Annual Fails Family Christmas Open House

It is hard to believe, but we hosted our 10th Annual Fails Family Christmas Open House. Danae did a wonderful job getting everything together and there was a lot of fun, food, beautiful harp music, and a bit of craziness. We had it a little later in December this year due to hurricane (tropical storm) Sandy cleanup.

Macys Santa

We had a fun time going into the city (NYC) and seeing Macys Santa amongst other things. Well, actually most of us saw Santa, Calista flat out refused to see him.

Calista is Friendly

Calista is friendly at school. She has a list of boyfriends, and made herself a label that she taped to her outfit (and yes, did wear all day): "I am a friend for everyone".

Turtleback Zoo Lights

We had a lot of fun going to the Turtleback Zoo lights.
