Celebration
#3
A Rip-Roarin'
Time
|
|
|
|
|
Christmas #3 was spent
in Illinois with Grandpa Archie and Grandma De. We had dinner
at one of the family's traditional favorite restaurants,
a small town eatery named "Rip's" where your choice
of entree is fried chicken, fried chicken, or fried chicken.
Matthew mostly ate pickles.

Anyone who knows this family will
have no trouble figuring out who's hand this is.
|

|
|
Matthew seems to be looking a bit
like Popeye this evening.
|
Having polished off our chicken,
we kick back and show off the sweatshirts Grandpa was kind enough
to spring for. Mine is still in the package three months later,
waiting for me to be not-pregnant enough to wear it! Maybe next
Christmas.

Back at the house to open
gifts, Matthew is intrigued by the elf climbing the ladder
up to the Christmas tree.

 |
This one is almost as big as Matthew!
|
Grandpa gets his very own Matthew-created
shirt!

|
 |
Matthew tries out his new
Sit 'N Spin. Good thing he didn't overeat at dinner!
