Our elves behaved all season and last night left us with a tree decorated with underwear. Oh boy!

Grandma Susie came over and spent the day with us. I got cool hot wheels, some building toys, and lots of legos.

Christmas Eve 2014

We spent the day just relaxing and crafting. We worked on our gingerbread houses.

Mom showed me how to apply icing to the roof and then I did it all on my own.

My house has zombie gingerbread men because…just because!

We dropped off some gifts for friends and I got to hold Range, my friend’s snake.

We tracked Santa on NORAD throughout the day.

I practiced a few of my piano Christmas songs.

Cookies, carrots, milk, lego statues and our reindeer full of Christmas spirit await the bearded fellow.

TO all a goodnight….

Dunedin Water Treatment Plant Tour

We toured the Dunedin Water Treatment plant that supplies all the potable water for the Dunedin residents. Small little machines inject the proper ratio of chemicals to the water to make it safe to drink.

The chemicals are stored in these HUGE containers.

They have 8 giant pumps to bring the water to the plant.

We got to see inside the filters. They use RO as well as a heavy filter system.

A giant room full of filters!

We got to check out ops as well. They have gauges on the meters and cal tell when there are issues around town or if someone is using too much water then can check for leaks. It was neat to see everything that goes into protecting our water supply.
