Through Wendy's Window: Christmas Eve

We were home a day before heading out on our next road trip. Thankfully this distance was much shorter--1 1/2 hours to Lima, Ohio to visit Trey's parents and celebrate Christmas Eve.

Wendy and Trey: December 24, 2010

Ryan, now 21, was our ring bearer when Trey and I were married. He's pictured with his girlfriend, Jenna.

Trey and his Aunt Cheryl have traded "candy jokes" ever since Trey offered salt flavored salt water taffy when their two families were vacationing at Disney World in the 1980's. This year Cheryl sent gross Jelly Bellys-some of the flavors include: skunk smell, pencil shavings, baby wipe, rotten egg and vomit to name a few. Trey and his cousin Tracy deciding who should try the next jelly bean.

"Here, try this!" Trey offers. Notice a poker face Alexander--he's not revealing the flavor, "just try it".

Poor Aunt Helen--unsuspecting victim to Trey and her daughter Tracy's jelly belly tricks. Tracy gave her a "baby wipe" flavored jelly bean and well, the picture tells the rest of the story.
