Family Christmas

Wednesday, December 29th all of the kids were home to celebrate Christmas with us. They also helped us do some cooking and cleaning as all the Kuklenz Klan arrived on Thursday.

Doug is shown here making some spritz cookies
(made especially for his Caramel Macchiatos)

We did have some fun too!
Jill & I played Bananagrams and all of us watched the movie "IronMan2".
During the movie, we heard a loud pop and found out the batteries in the remote had exploded.


Karl busted out his chemical skills and cleaned out the remote.
Then on to finish watching the movie.
NOTE TO SELF: Don't buy Ray-O-Vac batteries.
We've had several explode lately!

Jill and Josh were making Oreo Balls.
