Our Christmas Tree

This was taken last year but it basically looks the same every year.



I took a vacation from my scrapbook blog for over a week, too many things going on during the holidays.
I'll be takeing down the tree and all the other decorations around the house today.

It's A Wonderful Life

It's a Wonderful Life is my favorite Christmas movie.

My Tricycle

Here is me with my new tricycle I got for Christmas one year. What a neat trike! It had everything, a bell, a horn, a basket, handlebar shields and streamers! Boy did that trike get a lot of use. My own kids even played with it when they came along though it had lost all the neat things long long before.

Looking at the tree behind me in the picture I noticed the decorations. I can still remember those reindeer and snowman, they were made of Styrofoam. Even some of the balls were Styrofoam too. The reindeer's legs broke off as I remember.... I also can remember that red garland strung on the tree too. You can't see it in the picture but on top of the tree is (I'm pretty sure) a Santa face with a soft white beard. We used it for years. Some of these things are still around at Linda's house.

Operation Chrismas Child

Yesterday Danny and I along with Geneva went to the radio station in Springfield where we volunteered to box shoe boxes for Samaritan's Purse-Operation Christmas Child. www.samaritanspurse.org Geneva and I did this last year and enjoyed it so much we did it again this year.
