a few faves

I posted about my penguins not too long ago.
I thought I would post some of my faves that only come out at Christmastime.

Alec's parents gave this one to me early in our marriage.

My parents gave this one to me.

I bought this one at Swiss Days a long time ago. The kids just love him and he is showing the signs of all the hugs and dragging around he has seen over the years.

Alec gave me the one dressed up like Santa.
My roomie Bucky gave me the checkered scarf one.
