Ho, Ho, Ho !

How do I get into these things? Again Gpa was asked to be Santa at our Ward Christmas party.

I don't think it was as bad for me as it was for some of the kids, though.

I had some interesting requests, the most unusual was a little girl that wanted a real monkey. Of course Santa told her he'd get her one. Promising the kids that they'll get whatever they ask for is just my little way of punishing the parents for making me do this.

Happy little girl?

Not really!

Who is this guy really?

A little old for Santa don't you think CJ?

Been good little girl? Want some candy?

Ho Ho Ho
Merry Christmas!

Up, up, and away..........

There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that Skelly Electric bought a bucket truck this year just so grandpa could use it to hang the Christmas lights, but it certainly did come in handy!

We were a week late this year because of technical difficulties, so I think that this was the first year since we lived here that none of the kids were home to help.

So that in itself might be reason enough to enlist the aid of the truck.

I think we spent more times taking pictures and giving rides than actually hanging lights, but I didn't miss dragging the big yellow ladder around!

Grandma and I got through it and the house looks quite festive!

Merry Christmas!
