Merry Christmas

Decorating the Tree

This year Makinsey had a great time putting on all the Christmas ornaments on the tree. She had such a great time and we loved watching her. This Christmas is going to be wonderful. Lewis, Makinsey, and I love this time of the year. Making cookies for everyone at work and school. Taking Makinsey to see Santa so she could tell him exactly what she would like. Let me tell you she described the doll that she wants from head to toe. Taking time out of our day to do the best shopping of the season “Toys for Tots”, we take Makinsey shopping at the toy store and let her pick out toys for little boys and girls. Lewis and I have been doing this for many years. Last year was fun with Makinsey but this year she understands better why we will give all the toys to the firemen. And most of all, we get to spend time with our families.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
By Dr. Seuss
Every Who Down in Whoville Liked Christmas a lot...
But the Grinch,Who lived just north of Whoville, Did NOT!
The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all,
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

As you can see Makinsey does not like the Grinch. Makinsey would not calm down until Lewis and her put him in the back seat of the patrol car with the handcuffs. Lewis had to take him to jail the next morning.
