Favorite cookie– I have just gotten home from work and Kristin made these cookies today that are somekind of peanutbuttery rice crispy clumps dipped in chocolate and then put in the freezer. Man they are good. I don’t know if they are the best cause I was pretty hungry but they are definitly up there. Plus Kristin is a good cook.

Favorite Christmas song– That country song about the boy who wants to get his mom shoes cause she’s sick.

Favorite Christmas tradition– This one is not even close. It is not a long standing tradition but for a while we would all go to the movies on Christmas Eve and then go home and open our PJ’s. I thought that was cool.

Best Christmas memory– The year that Andi was starting law school at the U of I and her apartment burned down but she saved the Nintendo 64. I remember always thinking that we finally had the cool video games like everyone else. I was pretty excited about it. In retrospect the thing about it that is the most amazing is that Andi would spend that much money on a present for us when she was in school with absolutly no money. That was nice.
Also the Bears sweater that Michelle sent me last year that looks like Buddy Ryan’s from the 85 SuperBowl.
Mostly looking back on it now, the best memory I have of Christmas is the look on Moms face when I told he thanks for the many things that she would always get me.

What I want for Christmas is– Kristin to feel better,
Jonathan to get a 4.0,
the holiday five pack.
