Merry Christmas to all. We are spending Christmas and New Years in La Crosse, Wisconsin this year. Matt's parents have their big tree up and decorated to the nines with colored lights and ornaments. Evan enjoys putting the tree "to sleep" by turning the lights off at night, and "waking it up" first thing in the morning.
Once Evan caught on to the present idea, we opened stockings... Evan LOVES candy canes, to the point of manic obsession. Which has resulted in anything peppermint to be hidden from his sight... and heaven help you if he smells peppermint on your breath, because he won't be satisfied until you produce the precious item that you've been eating. The neatest thing in the stocking, according to Evan, was a couple of plastic frogs. And the best gift was a front-end loader which could be filled with wrappings and bows from other presents.... everything else, for the birds. Oh, and Matt learned not to put the driver into the front-end loader... it can only be driven by a small plastic deer, of course!
We have been blessed with a warm home and a large family to celebrate our holidays with- our thoughts are with other members of our family that are far away, and those who are lonely this season.
