Lasers

This is Roman Kuprov and his exposure bag. It's a teflon Bag that is filled with atmospheric gases and photolyzed by the UV lights above.

Christmas Eve And Day

On Christmas Day we all headed for Cory and Mindy's Home. Most of us were there for the eve except for Jake and Meghan who came the next day. We did secret Santa instead of trying to give gifts to everyone.

Of course the grandkids were showered with love.

Brady and Ildy got a tool kit and Mugs from us.

Justing got an X-box 360 from Brady and Ildy (it's Brady's old one but Justin couldn't be more overjoyed)

Jill Completed her collection of the "Friends DVD's" from Justin

And Darius likes wrapping paper. You know the old saying in as paper out as paper (that's gatta hurt)

I gave Stina a Dremel drill we had opened our secret santa the day before from Jake and Meghan. They gave us a Skill saw.

We stayed the night there and got up early to eat and watch Kobe drive us up the wall (ha ha ha, I kill myself sometimes) and had a day cards games and fun in the snow.

We were sure to restore the age-old tradition of hurting ourselves in whatever way we could. In this case by pulling each other on sled at 30 MPH down the street.

Don't worry Jill got on the sled as well.

Christina was the photographer still getting used to our new Camera.

The 4-wheeler seemed to work better than the car.

Wow it was a lot of fun.

We also tried to build snow caves but halfway it fell. We started to change it into a tunnel but lost interest (and feeling in our legs) and went inside to eat and get warm.

Later on we made are way over to Jessica and Ahn's home and tried out the new Wii Fit.

We had a lot of ice cream that day chilled by liquid nitrogen. We made alot at Cory's too.

I still got the moves for hoola hooping.
