My new job at the bookstore. Wow, was my hair long.

Gary being recognized by his employer at a special dinner at Millennium Park. Gary didn't know about the recognition in advance or that I was invited to the dinner meeting to witness it.




A Jingle with Jillian








Sorry for the quality of these pictures. We thought we had good seats, but then the preschool teacher and her assistant sat right in front of us and were moving around a lot directing the children. I tried to fix these as best I could.
Nik is on the far right of this picture.



Santa stopped by the banquet room to say hi on his way to meet with all the good little girls and boys. Nikolas came prepared with his list, which Santa asked him to mail to his North Pole address.
I found out from the clerks that were printing out the photos that Mrs. Claus has trouble keeping her eyes open during photos.
All the kids got a "treat" from Fisher Price. Nikolas and Michael both got a Diego ocean animal set. After he got his gift, Nik went up to Mr. & Mrs. Claus and thanked them for the present.
