It brought back memories when my Mom was alive and we would all go home at Christmas and my brothers and sister would be there with all of their children. Now..that part of my life is over...and I am in YOUR mother's place. Even our hair matches! :) This was just plain wonderful!!<br />*sniff sniff* ...touched my heart!

He was robbed!<br />It's great to see that your mom has helping neighbors; what a blessing that is. It looks like you had another wonderful time. Ohio is lucky to have you on a permanent basis with all that draws you home to Chicago.<br />My family's white elephant exchange is this weekend and I'm not ready. Maybe a few lottery tickets would do the trick. :)selvageedgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832624747353449048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-44669469532846884242013-12-16T22:47:44.653-05:002013-12-16T22:47:44.653-05:00Ugly sweaters, ugly t-shirts, ugly cookies, an elf...Ugly sweaters, ugly t-shirts, ugly cookies, an elf costume, "wife beater shirt," crazy hats, puzzle fights, white elephants and Santa Claus (or one of his helpers, let's say) - all of those things combined to make it a wonderful family get together in Chicago.<br /><br />Your mother looks absolutely wonderful and her ugly sweater was the prettiest of all. With the sweater Jack was wearing, you did him a favor by cutting off his head so that no one can make a positive i.d. :) I was hoping to see Eddy dressed in an ugly sweater of his very own. Maybe there's still time before Christmas! (hint hint)<br /><br />It was so kind of the neighbor kids to pitch in and shovel snow. That was a pleasant surprise and a very blogworthy moment to capture with your camera.<br /><br />It warms my heart to see your family sharing holiday spirit and lotsa love. I am happy for you, YaYa, and I'm glad you made the trip over and back w/o any flat tires or other problems! <br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your week, dear friend!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-74914954789786521522013-12-16T21:34:24.746-05:002013-12-16T21:34:24.746-05:00So nice to live in a lovely neighborhood.
