Christmas Eve











Jordon was lovin' playing with trucks and toys at his cousins' house on Christmas eve day. Logan clocked him in the head with a truck and he got a pretty good goose-egg but he didn't cry for long and was back in the mix of things. The shot of Mom with her gift from Don and I is a classic throw-back to the days when all of us kids would get gifts with various patterns of used wrapping paper from Mom and Dad-- Mom didn't want to waste anything so we would usually get not-so-pretty gifts, but what did we care? It was just something to tease Mom about, so she got a kick out of this one. I made my siblings and Mom an ornament with a favorite Christmas picture of Mom and Dad, with Dad smiling all cheesy and wearing a Carhart hat. Christmas was really not the same without Dad around chowing down on popcorn and nuts. It really sucks having all these holidays so soon after he's gone. The up side would be enjoying Jordon and seeing how much he's grown since last year at this time. And then of course, the red cow dispenser we found for Tim that poops candy into a stocking.
