Escalades,Washing Barbies, Pops, and Fuddruckers

Our Christmas was filled with the usual gift opening, eating, partying, etc. but there was also some other fun things that I wanted to document here. On the day after Christmas (that is right, the day after Christmas, no snow in sight yet around these parts) we took the Escalade out for a spin. Tizita actually drove the Escalade all the way to St. John's which is a good mile away. It was great fun! I did jump in for a brief lift when my legs were tired.

Tizita is a wonderful driver. Here she is showing us her skills when she is backing up.

Here is the final leg of the journey as we travelled up the big hill toward home.

Tizita and I also washed some of the Barbie dolls. Here they are in the communal sink where they bathed.

There was lots of hair to wash as well.

We also took a trip to see Pops in the Care Center. Of course, the highlight of any trip to the Center is the vending machine! This time Tiz chose some skittles.

After the visit, we headed over to Fuddrucker's for some tasty burgers. Never disappointment there.

That night we enjoyed a fire in our basement while watching "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."

Paul found Alissa's shoe chair to be a comfortable spot to both enjoy the movie and the fire.

Good times all around!
