The holidays are over
A new year with no mistakes in it
The end of the gingerbread house
To officially end the holidays we packed the kids and the gingerbread house and several instruments of destruction in the back of the van and headed to the edge of civilization (the reservation).
Our first drama-I handed Heidi’s gingerbread house to Molly to carry and she tripped on a bush and the whole thing went crashing to the ground. Hearts were broken, tears were shed.
This ritual is all about shaking off the old and ringing in the new. It didn’t take long to realize that there was destruction to mete out and there was no time for a funk. So Heidi snapped out of it.
Here are the others at work: Tanner took a few ceremonial blows but quickly lost interest. He sat in the dirt and kept saying “I want to play baseball.”
Molly and Zoe picking through the debris to find anything that is edible. This might be a good practice for surviving in an urban jungle.
Reed preparing for battle, Wade Boggs style.
Office Space style beat down.
This next picture is our favorite as the Schultzie tree takes a death blow.
And then it was over.
Until next year. And yes we cleaned up our mess.
