Santa Pictures

I love having all of our old Christmas pictures up on the fridge this time of year.  These are a few of my favorites...

Back when we had a live tree before I became "allergic" (aka, bugs got in it one year, another year it leaked, & then my dad became a tree hugger).  On a happier note, this was my first puppy, Amos Otis :)

 

What happened with those bangs?  Good question...

 

Ben's first Christmas...he must've been about 3 months old here.  Good thing I look cute & had that great long hair, since apparently Santa made him scream & turn bright red.

I love Ben's face in this one :)

Back when my mom made me wear bows bigger than my head.  Why couldn't someone other than me tell her that they didn't even look good?  I especially hate this green one & I remember getting into a fight with her about it before a piano recital once.  I still ended up at the recital with that ridiculous bow in my hair taking over my head.

 

Ben looks like he's thinking "You smell like beef & cheese, you don't smell like Santa."
