Since I am spending my 45 day break in Moulton and am just BURSTING with things to do, I thought I'd take a trip down memory lane to Christmases of years past. The picture above was taken in 1987, my first Christmas. To be honest, I look a little freaked out. I wonder who this man was anyway. (click on thumbnails for bigger view)
Christmas day 20 years ago:
There I am all the way in the back, obviously, the one closest to the fire. Rebecca looks a little upset, Chuck is a little ecstatic, and everyone else looks like they are just ready to eat! Also, that blanket sitting in front of the fire looks a little too close for comfort...even in the Fire Chiefs house!

Here is Randy and I in 1993, smiling from our bedroom window I am guessing right after my mom had finished putting up the lights. I always loved they way we decorated our home. It was always the brightest on the street!
Christmas morning 1993! Those footie pajamas were awesome! I wonder what that string was hanging on the wall to the left of Scott, anyone know? Have a guess? Go figure, I had already dug into in my stocking and began chowing down on a snack. Had I even eaten breakfast yet? Probably not.

At my grandparents' house Christmas Eve in 1998. We spend Christmas Eve here every year and it is my most favorite day of the year! I was in 5th grade at the time, and clearly no where near the fashion trends of the day....
I wish someone would have slapped me. They certainly should have. No matter, I can laugh at it now. Those dogs kept my feet warmer than any other pair of slippers I've ever owned. I miss them actually. This is when my fear of dogs subsided and my wish to have one as a pet grew. I am still waiting on that wish....

Christmas dinner in 2003. You can't see me because I am the one taking the picture. This was about a year and four months after our world turned upside down, but we still look as happy as ever.

This was at my wonderful older brother Chuck's fabulous Cheesy Christmas sweater party. It was a blast, and clearly none of us are photogenic.
Christmas morning. Love the fire! Jordan and I always argue over which is better, real fires or propane induced fires. Just like I will never have a fake tree, I will never have a "fake" fire. Sorry babe.
This was taken during the best Christmas gift I've ever gotten!
I lOVE CHRISTMAS. Childhood Christmases were filled with magic and wonder and to this day that same feeling still creeps its way into my heart. There is nothing I love more than spending quality time with the family I love so much! I can't wait for this year!
Merry Christmas :)

The string held our Christmas cards. The other end was usually attached across the doorway leading to the dining room.
