Jake:

'Pop!'

You see that little mark next to the yellow sprinkle, i nthe center of the picture? Like a little 'Pop!' That's why I took this picture. : D

Anne:

Mmm...eggnog (w/a splash of bourbon and a sprinkle of nutmeg)...

My Dad sent us an entire Christmas PARTY!!

When my sister and I were little, we would browse the catalogs at Christmas-time and just DREAM. My Dad used to ask us to choose things from the Sears catalog for him to buy us for Christmas...and one year he bought us EVERYTHING we chose!!

One of our favorite catalogs was The Swiss Colony. We would just DREAM of (and drool over) that chocolate and those beef sticks!!

Well, even though I'm 46 years old now, my Dad is still making my childhood dreams come True.


That's Sam's hand snatching a beef stick. He had to touch absolutely EVERYTHING in that box and was so excited to open things up and taste them. He was delighted to learn that he LOVED the fruitcake (said it reminded him of hot cross buns), and his favorite was definitely dipping one of the summer sausages into the barbecue sauce.

So much Joy and Goodness!!
