Christmas is always an experience in our home.

We had to convince a few unwilling partcipants into getting a family photo done.

These are the good results. To see the bad ones, you must make a personal request.

Carston Thomas Busacker, Age 2

Sydney Eva Busacker, Age 3
Lydia Claire Busacker, Age 6

Maren Elisabeth Busacker, Age 7

Then all of us caught a passer-by to take this once in a lifetime shot.

Pumpking Carving is a gross ,but favorite tradition in the Busacker home. And, how cute can a scarecrow actually be?
Maren is Dorothy and her best friend Sidney Moore is Tin Man. What a pair.

Halloween 2007

Halloween in Cincinnati is always a TREAT! The leaves turn brilliant colors and you can feel the chill in the air for fall. The kids picked a theme this year -- The Wizard of Oz! Maren was Dorothy, Lydia was Glenda the Good Witch, Sydney was the Lion, and Carston was the unwilling Scarecrow. They had fun trick-or-treating at the ward Halloween Party. They had so much candy, but they still wanted more. We spent Halloween with our friends the Moore's having pizza together and then sending the dad's off with the kids. It was a blast.
