Holtza-Christmas 2011

A Christmas Memory Blob

By JT

 It started with a New York Yankee waffle-iron and ended with 75% of us feeling a little warm and fuzzy after downing the bottle of Chocolate-Killa from "Italilly".

 Zach waited patiently for his turn to chug from the communal bottle.

 My mom couldn't wait.  She had her oown stash and just would not share.  Austin, being the perfect gentleman, looked away and did not judge.

 It was great see Gram... hopefully someone will pick her up again next year.  Love that sentimental gal.

 It seems that these two were plotting something.

Merry Christmas everyone!  What a day.

Ken-West and Kenmore Middle Share the Stage

A Christmas Video Blob

Emma got to share the stage with Ken-West's orchestra for some holiday fun.  She's on the right hand side 4 chairs in; she's hard to see.  It was a fun night and they played some pretty good Christmas music.  Emma plays second fiddle for Kenmore Middle, not bad for a 6th grader.

Not so much breaking news.......anymore

As many of you know our blog serves many purposes. This morning as I was snug in my bed after a late night out (9:00pm), mother awakened me to the screetch the Elk's Lodge is on FIRE! As the Koch family was first to break the news on facebook, I thought I would follow up with some pictures. The twin city landmark was built in 1921 and served millions of fish fries.
It was set to be demolished today. What will go into this vacant lot? KDHRC franchise?
