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 2011 - Cottontail On the Trail

Cottontail On the Trail

A sculpture close to home on Minnehaha Parkway is Cottontail On the Trail. Neighbors usually help outfit him for the holidays and this is what he ended up looking like by the time this weekend was over. Cottontail On the Trail is a bronze sculpture by Jeff Barber and is located where Portland Avenue intersects East Minnehaha Parkway in Minneapolis. When Becky was here with the boys in the late 2000s I remember the boys really liking this sculpture.
