In a Sentimental Christmas Mood

This treetop Santa has adorned our trees since JoAnna's and my first Christmas together. (I should have taken a picture with Santa's hat off. It looks like we're celebrating the season WWF-style.)

And then there are those truly special ornaments, which the boys would prefer we keep off the tree, actually. Although the frame says 1996, this pictures features Andy in his football uniform from the fall of 1998, when he played for St. Francis Xavier in Cross Plains. A group of parents took turns providing taxi service to the from the practices for the 14-mile round trip. It was probably one of those memories I relived when Andy first got his driver's license.

This picture is from the fall of 1997, when Eddie was in first grade. His soccer team chose the name Sailfish. Marine names seemed to be the trend then. When Andy started out in socccer, dinosaur names were de rigueur. His team was the T-Rex's.

Bonus round for Eddie!
