The other Aiello's Christmas has begun.

Wopping Fog Hole Snow Village is all ready.

Rose Ann painted the background,

Added a waterfall,

Made it three layers high,


Has 65+ buildings,

Numberless amount of people sledding, caroling, getting married and who knows what...

And then there are the seven churches on top of the amiore.

It is all a sight to behold.  Nice work Rose Ann (Frank's mom).

Halloween 2013

 Dan entered 3 entries for the 4H county fair contest.  He entered chocolate muffins, a pumpkin drawing from art class with Meme and this dinosaur collection.  He told them more about dinosaurs than they wanted to know.  All three entries got blue ribbons.  It is more of a skill level for these ribbons.  They later go into a contest for best of class.  

 Abby entered 14 entries.  A pillow, doll pajamas, pot holder, doll toy made out of a clothes pin, a 18 inch doll snack vendor cart made from a show box and other recycled items.  A drawing of a pumpkin from art class with Meme, needle point of a pumpkin, her own pajamas pants she made, a set of pine cones she decorated to look like the four different seasons.  Our families favorite peanut butter candies, fresh cut flowers from our yard and finally cornmeal pancakes she made all by herself.  They thought she was very creative and crafty.  She got 11 blue ribbons and 3 red ribbons.  She his hoping to get a best in class with her pumpkin drawing from a comment the judge made.  

They did very well explaining themselves and participating in the event.  I think we will do it again next year.  


 Dan is being a herbivore stegosaurus for Halloween.
Abby is a rock star and Sarah is a ballerina fairy.  I think a ballerina fairy was made up for little girls who want to wear a tutu and wings at the same time.  

Catching up to October 2013
