Sent the above picture to Sam and Pete.
Sam texted back that they got a white Christmas. I texted back that that's pretty good for Kansas.
Pete texted back that they are doing cheese fondue at their house.

Christmas Season 2011 - The Swedish Institute Part 2
As kids Mom used to read Sam, Pete and I The Tomten by Astrid Lindgren. I loved the story and was delighted when Mom visited my classroom this year and read it to the kids. The receiving room at the Swedish Institute was decked out with a bunch of Tomtens and you can see some in the above photo. Actually, if you look to the right of the picture you can see one of a couple that were in the fireplace. You can see me snapping the photo in the mirror above.

Christmas 2011 - A Charlie Brown Christmas
Dale and I caught A Charlie Brown Christmas on television the other night. It's my favorite holiday special. Sam, Pete and I loved watching this as kids and waited with anticipation for it to be on.

Christmas 1969 - Joe and Sam
Sam and I at the house on Stevens. Sam was plagued by ear, nose and throat problems and cried a lot. I didn't mind because I loved having a little brother.

Christmas 1970 - Joe and Sam
As far as I know, this is the first and only year that Mom sent out a holiday photo card.
Christmas 1970 - The Manger Scene
1970 is the first year that the whole manger scene appears in a photograph. The Mary, Joseph and Jesus figures, along with an angel appear in a photo from 1968. Mom made all the figures and Dad built the wooden form to house them. The manger scene is now in the possesion of Pete's family.

Christmas 1972 - Dinner
Mom helps to cut Sam's food as I eat a sandwich. A sandwich for Christmas dinner? What was I thinking?

Christmas 1973 - Opening Presents
In the bottom two photos Sam and I are playing with the Weebles Marina. The Weebles wobbled but they didn't fall down. They were egg shaped figures and this year we got a marina set for them.
Christmas 1973 - Paul H.
Shown here is my neighborhood friend, Paul, who lived up the street. He stopped by for a pre-Christmas visit. In the bottom photo I'm holding a picture of the Snuffaluffagus from Sesame Street.
