Christmas Eve 2010 - Erik & Katie w/ Zoe

Here they are in front of our small fiber optic tree...our Christmas tree for this year.

The stocking on the wall in back, is an Advent Stocking. They've been taking turns placing an item on the stocking.

Erik will be 17 on the 27th!!! Katie is 12-1/2 now! (13 in May). Zoe, well...we're not sure on her age, but we're going with 12, same as Katie, judging from some beginning cataracts, etc. She also has "selective hearing loss"... (Kinda like Erik & Katie...)

2 Revere Ware Pans

While wandering around in a thrift shop the other day, I found these 2 frying pans, old, made in USA Revere Ware!

Since it was 1/2 price day on housewares, I snatched up these 2 pans, along with a couple other items I'll post later.

For those just dying of curiosity, the large pan was $2, the smaller pan $1...
