Christmas Morning...

Waiting for permission to go see if Santa came and more importantly...
If he left any presents!

The stockings were hung...

Presents

Santa (aka Grandpa)

When I lived in AK, Santa used to come to Craig on a float plane to see the kids in town. He had come several times but when I was about six I remember looking up into the face of Santa and realizing that Santa looked alot like Grandpa!!

My aunt heard that I remembered that and a couple of years ago, sent me this newspaper picture that she'd had framed.

Love it and have it hung in my office all year.

Christmas Party

Ugly weater party...

Sam won the 'ugliest sweater' prize. I think the shoulder pads helped... :)

Tooth #3

Michael lost this tooth twice...

The first time here.

The second time... The next morning when M woke up he (and I) were surprised to realize that the tooth fairy had forgotten to take his tooth and leave him some $$!!!!

BAD Tooth Fairy!

Anyway.

M had the whole day to play with his tooth and by the end of the day he didn't know where it was and it has yet to be found. :(

Ornament Tradition

Here are a few more...

Christmas Tree Ornament Tradition

A few years after Husband and I were married, we started collection ornaments every Christmas. We try to find ones that represent something big that we did that year but sometimes they are just ones that we like.

Here's a few...
