You know Christmas is coming when the tree arrives... HERE's 2 girls waiting to help unload the tree (this year's version came from OSH- it was too tall and we had to remove a foot from it for it to fit...!) |
Caky and Joepa came for 10 days this year. HERE we are just hanging out in the family room. |
We stopped by the mall to see Santa's helper and present our "lists". Jordan went up to see him but Taylor wasn't interested... hmmmmm.. |
On Christmas eve, we made Santa cookies and decorated them. They tasted just fine but stuck to the pan horribly... then George figured out mis-measured the butter and only put in half what he should have...duh! |
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care. Guess which one belongs to Jordan? (extra credit if you can find Taylor's) |
Taylor and her trusty companion blue dog modeling the seasonal outfit. |
Santa arrives here- no photos available.
Predictably, the girls got a ton of stuf...
Later that day, Cynthia and Jeff and Georgia came over for gifts and dinner. |
Georgia in her Christmas best by the tree. |
Scooby and his tennis ball. Nice hat, dude! |
Joepa gives Jordan a guitar lesson. |
Old friends Freebo and Jack stopped by for a visit. George worked with Freebo in the mid-80's and they've kept in touch all this time. |
Taylor, Caky, Joepa and Jordan on New Years' Eve! |
