Christmas Happenings

We all went to Bass Pro Shops last weekend, as we have done the last few years, and it was just as much fun as it always has been.  Little Jake was wide eyed trying to take it all in.  Priscilla and Jackie both love it there and we ended up staying for several hours.  We started off with lunch in the restaurant.

Jackie and Papa playing a game while waiting for their meals.

Jake loves to color.  His little hands look so sweet!

After lunch Mrs. Santa was posing for pictures, but Jake wanted no part of her.

  

The carousel was a big hit!  Jake loved it and would point to it and say, "Weee."

Next stop was making ornaments with Daddy.

The best of many attempts at this shot.

Tried to get one of the three kids, but someone was not too cooperative.

Papa helped Priscilla write a letter to Santa.

  

Daddy and Jackie at the archery range.

Next in line for the Santa picture.

The meeting with the big guy.  Jake did not enjoy this moment.

Some of Mom's Christmas mice.

The new Christmas mouse blanket on Mom's chair.

My tea table (sewing cabinet) that sits next to Mom's Chair.

The treasured Christmas Caroler!  She was originally a member of a threesome and is now the only surviving member.  The group was a constant on our mantle when we were growing up.
