 Linking up for Blogmas 2014…25 Days of Christmas…winding down.  It’s 50 degrees today 😐

“The Elves and the Shoemaker”

I don’t know if this is an actual Christmas story, but it does have elves in it 🙂  This story encompasses the true spirit of Christmas of giving and helping one another.  It’s also a story about shoes…and shoes make me happy. 🙂 (ooohhh…especially these cute little lace-up deals on the cover…lol)

 Also have to include Linus’ version of the Christmas story.  Linus was always my favorite, because of his blanket…which may or may not have had anything to do with the fact that I carried my blanket well past the age one would deem appropriate. 😉

Merry Christmas Adam!!

(as my dad would say…it’s actually a thing…you can Google it, lol)

Linking up for Blogmas 2014…25 Days of Christmas. Because I LOVE Christmastime… Snow is in the forecast!! 🙂

This picture was taken in 2010, and is the last photo we took of us all together.  When this was posted on Face Book my brother (on my right) summed it up in his comment:  Wow what a great photo!!! Everyone in one shot! That’s rarer than a unicorn sighting!!!

At the time my sister and parents both lived in the town we grew up in, I was south of them in Illinois, my brother on the left was north of them in Illinois (the farthest away) and my other brother was east of them in Indiana. We weren’t extremely far from one another like some families are, but still difficult to get us all together at one time, especially on the holidays.  This is one of my favorites especially now that my dad is no longer with us.
