Gingerbread House

When we were in Buffalo for Christmas we decided to make a Gingerbread House (thanks Granny). This was a first for Kara, Grandma Locker & me! It was a lot of fun! Thanks to Danielle's "heads up" on making sure we read the directions everything went together smoothly!
Notice the "K "
on the chimney for Kara!

New York City 2007


We took a trip to NY City with Larry & Lisa and our friends Darryl & Heather. The weather was great! We had a blast! We loved the hustle and bustle of the city and all the noise...honking horns...LOL!

Time Square


Lisa and Heather were so excited to look for purses!


We took some fun pics by the Christmas ornaments

Rockefeller Center


Yes, we even saw "Rocky"... ...and Spider man!
We went into St. Patrick's Cathedral. It was absolutely beautiful!
There were little areas all around the cathedral where you could light a candle and say a prayer. They were all so beautiful!
These beautiful scenes of Jesus were engraved into the walls
Life size Nativity

Christmas Cookies

It's that time of year again when all the Locker Ladies get together to bake Christmas cookies. We had a great time baking, talking & listening to Christmas music. This year Kara, Katie & Cassidy helped out with the baking! I hope that this tradition will go on for years and years! Julie, Lisa, Karen & Mom

Family Night

Friday night was family night at the Locker's. We made snowflakes and if you look closely in Kara's left hand we made a strawberry ornament and stuffed it to make it puff out. We did the same thing with the Christmas tree D is holding. Joshua got in on the fun too! He had these little flower pieces all over the floor!
