How quickly have these kids grown! The crutches belonged to my nephew, Colin, who had broken his ankle just a few days earlier . . . The boxes on the children's table contained Christmas ornaments, and Colin's was a Santa Claus figure. We wrapped one of Santa's feet in gauze to match the cast Colin was sporting at the time . . . He got a kick out of it! And I just remembered how much I loved this wrapping paper! What is it with me and wrapping paper! I also remember that it took me a while and some experimenting to get the M&M candy on top of the boxes to stick and not fall down.
These were taken at our old house in Chicago, before we moved to the 'burbs . . . Lots of happy memories in this house . . .
Funny, but I think I'm making the same dinner this Christmas! Except, no baked potatoes. Instead, I'm trying out a new idea - a mashed potato bar.
