Christmases Past and Present

These pictures are the same Christmas, 2001. The top one is right after we moved to Dillon just before Christmas. Aunt Nancy is holding George. I love Carson's egg nog mustache. Callie always ready for the camera.

The bottom picture is in Baker City, OR right before we moved. David was gone because I remember my neighbor helping me go downtown with the kids to see Santa and a parade. My neighbor had a little girl Callie's age. All I remember is that it was COLD.

This is at the church Christmas party in Lincoln, NE. In 2004. Callie brought a list with her. I love Ginger's expression and George's hair that is standing up.

This is at the church Christmas party in '05. Also in Lincoln, NE. David started his position in Missouri the next February, 2006. We didn't completely move til June of '06. And we didn't sell our house til October of '06.

2008

These are some friends of ours from church. We meet up with them and went to see Rudolph and Santa later. They also sang with the choir.

We went downtown Mt. Shasta to the tree lighting ceremony and Callie sang in the choir with some friends. Carson could have but he chose not to because he hadn't been to any of the extra practices for it. Callie was right in the middle on the front row and got her picture taken for the front page of the newspaper. She was excited about that. Small town livin'!

George and Lucy stayed home with Dad. We didn't know Santa would be there or that we would actually wait in the long, long line to see him. Carson made sure though that he wouldn't have to sit on his lap. Carson asked for some kind of military thing that I don't remember, Callie asked for an iPod touch(Ya right!), and Ginger asked for a Disney Belle doll.
