December Calendar Blitz Cont.

This is perhaps my favorite page. The green block says,
"Christmas is a necessity. There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves."

The picture is of Grams and me.

Lovin the snow ...

It's hard to remember his hair that short...

December Calendar Blitz

You can't really see this picture very well ... but the story behind it is hilarious. This is a pic of my Uncle Les. Every year (except this one, unfortunately) we celebrate Christmas Day at Lynndee and Les' house in Belle Fourche, SD. So, last year, we're all eating a fabulous dinner and Les keeps getting up from the table and going into the bathroom. He does this 4 or 5 times before I wonder what in the world is going on ... so I follow him into the bathroom (door was open!) and there he was blow-drying his hair/neck. "Well, damn it, Val, I am trying to stay dry," he says to me. I guess he was a bit warm and used the blow dryer to dry the sweat off his neck. Catching him doing that with Lyndee's blowdryer was hilarious!

Making cookies last year. Yes, the tin cookie cutter on the page is real. Wish I could find more.

Ornaments on the tree ...

The red block says,
"Each day comes bearing it's own gifts.
Untie the ribbons."

The only thing on his list last year was a cement truck. This year it is a silver monster truck. That's it. I wonder when he'll figure out that he can ask for more? ;)

Christmas time at Wayne's parents' house.
