Day 4/10 I have decided to join the race and have added the Grow Some Mistletoe, the above photo shows before it enters the water.
The first Drop 12/19/07
24 Hours in the Punch Bowl, I have already caught up to the others. See Santa snowglobe for scale. AWESOME!!
Nellie's flake standing all by itself, she has raised this snow flake to stand alone and stand tall-Ahh-MAZE-ING! This must be one BRILLIANT snowflake
"Jingles" is still growing. Good job Mikey!
Stephanie's Snow Flake, hmm I am thinking she may need a bigger container if she wants to stay in this race.
Day 3: It looks like the growth is slowing up a bit. I wonder what the next 24 hrs. will bring?
The bird's eye view. It's looking good.
Meet "Jingles" who is becoming such a big boy, Mike has done a good job raising this little elf
Here we have Stephanie's SnowFlake, it looks so big in that tiny glass
She insists it isn't the glass, that it is actually bigger then Nellie's. I sense some competetion in da house
Here is the "Grow a Mistletoe" before shot. All items were about this size in the beginning stage 
24 Hours in the Tank!
Can you see the growth? See yesterdays pictures and compare.
The above photo was taken December 2004 (I think) lol! See how tiny she is!
This photo was taken this year! They grow up way too quickly! *tear* 
Here it is, the GROWING SNOWFLAKE. This one is Nellie's and I don't know if she has named it yet but she has taken the liberty of putting it inside a Ginormous VASE to let it expand in some water and hopefully reach its full growth potential of becoming 600% bigger.
Right now our little snowflake has been in its tank for approximately 4 hours. She has reported a milky substance forming all around it. We have taken the liberty of putting our mini Santa snow globe next to it so we can better see our results. The snowglobe measures 1.5" wide by 1.75" tall.
Little did I know when I found these little creatures that they require up to 10 days to reach maximum size so of course I was criticized for not buying them sooner. Like she said, this can be considered my little gift to them to help them understand the virtue of PATIENCE. Don't forget to come back and visit to check his progress………
I had a very nice weekend. We started off Friday evening by meeting up with the gang and went to a dinner/movie way over in BFE. We saw I am Legend and we literally felt like we were apart of this movie on a few occasions. I liked the movie quite a bit. It was so intense and stressful. We were at the edge of our seats throughout. 
The rest of the weekend was of course spent Christmas shopping. What a mess. We headed to Memorial City Mall and shopped til we dropped. I almost lost a couple of fingers carrying all those bags. I am about 90% done. I will be battling the crowds again on Thursday or Friday. As soon as I got home Sunday evening, I put the little reindeers to work. Aren't they cute.
