In hopes our family will email Christmas photos, here is a start from this end.
The MAtH got his White Sox blanket. Yay. World Series Champions. Who believes it even yet?
And, this is so cool.
I got softball mitts and a 10 inch ball to play catch. Guess the MAtH reads my blog. Thanks for the push, Bunnie.
Dateline: Upstate New York
Our future son in law, Charlie received a tie. Pink.
Our daughter got a bunny...but we knew that. Katie's future in laws are very understanding.
Dateline: Chicago south suburbs
My brother and sister in law model their new Lutheran-ware.
Then we see their dog Gump opening his present.
Dateline: Texas Panhandle
Son in law Darren plays Dominoes with relatives hooked up to IPODs while his mom watches.
Lizzie and Darren admire the St. Louis Cardinal suit given to their coming progeny. Or, maybe they're wishing it was a White Sox outfit.
It's getting on toward night now, it's pretty dark and we're settled in for a rest and an evening of football. We've been to church, eaten constantly for 2 days, played outside in the rain/sleet/snow, walked the dog, cooked, read, played on the computer. And most importantly, visited with family in person, by phone, and email pictures. On the first day of Christmas our family sent to me...pictures for all to see.
Fighting words! Never, ever would we want it to be a White Sox outfit! Cardinals all the way!!

I actually think they were wishing it was a Cubs outfit...

Nice picture of the girls and Speaker. They are so grown up now. We wish you Christmas joy from Fort Wayne...hometown of the "other" seminary!

Diane & Dale:
Congrats! I didn't know that Lizzie was expecting.
How come no pictures of the M.A.T.H.?
