It was great to celebrate Halloween 2011 with our good friends and family.  Thanks to everyone who made this one of our best Halloween parties ever!

There were many scary faces in our annual Halloween party “Scary Face Contest.”  And the winners are:   Marcia (left) and Stacy claim the top prizes with the scariest faces!

We had a traditional Christmas turkey dinner with all the trimmings.  It was good food and great fun with family and friends. These overhead shots were provided by the Goodyear blimp.

One of my father’s favorite Christmas activities was to make rosettes, a traditional Scandinavian fried cookie.  We celebrated Dad’s birthday by making dozens of rosettes with a 130-year-old rosette iron that originally belonged to Grandma Semke’s mother. After seasoning the iron, Lisa watches Heather and Ryan make our first pair of rosettes. See more photos [...]

We had a fun party on July 3rd.  There was a yummy cookout, good fireworks, and great friends. If you climb onto the porch swing, you can be sure that Shadow will try to join you!  Here Shadow enjoys a nice doggie sandwich between Di and Zadee.

For what seems like the 20th year in a row, David won our Best Pumpkin contest with his FREEHAND (!) carving of a zebra (above).  David is the "Tiger Woods of pumpkin carving" at our annual Halloween party.  

Michael (above) with his ghoulish gander was the winner of the Scary Face Contest at our Halloween party this year.
