Christmas tree in Edwardsville, Christmas 2010.

Tuedsay

At Cirque Dreams Holidaze at the Fabulous Fox Theater. The only picture proving that we were altogether over Christmas...sans Claire and Caleb. Dad, Mom, Chris, Holly, Joe, Katie, me and Sarah.

Sunday

This was as good a picture as we could get of mom's snow artwork: Merry Christmas!

Saturday

Claire found Katie's boots and loved trying to walk around in them. She kept tripping over her own feet!

Friday

Santa Claus (Bro. McNeill) came on Christmas Eve to visit Claire; she wanted nothing to do with him...until he pulled out some candy and then got a little closer. As soon as he left, she kept saying, "Bye, Christmas man! Bye, Christmas man!"

Wednesday

Our "outside" fridge (ie: the cooler covered in snow! :) The raccoons got into the Cool Whip, but learned their lesson and didn't come back.

Tuesday

Claire with boarding pass, blankie, backpack, and police badge in hand, ready to get on the flight to see Grandma and Grandpa!

Monday

Caleb on the flight home, ready for Grandma and Grandpa!

Friday

I was flipping through my scrapbook the other night looking for something and came across this note I left Santa 20 years ago--written on dot matrix printer paper! Ha! My favorite part about this note was Santa's hand writing...aka Dad's handwriting disguised with little curls on each letter! I remember thinking that Santa had the coolest handwriting!
Circa Christmas 1989.
