Christmas 2007
Most of the snow had been washed away with a rain, so we replaced the snowman who had melted with a Tony Stewart race car inflatable decoration which we got on Ebay at the last minute. You have to use your imagination a little bit since we now have all the Rudolph characters on the lawn with a racing car.
Lots and lots of presents waiting for James this day, thanks to all the relatives who helped make this day possible. I don’t think James didn’t like anything, he even liked the toothbrush Mom and Dad got him.
So we did have a semi white Christmas after all, just not as white as I remember them as a kid.
Bronners on Christmas Eve Eve 2007
We try to get to Bronners at least once a year, usually when we are coming back from a trip to Mackinaw or around Christmas time. Bronners is the largest Christmas store in the world and Frankenmuth is well known for its hospitality as a resort town. A trip to Frankenmuth during the Christmas season is well worth while and you will be shocked by all the decorations and how well lit up the city is.
Frankenmuth also has one of the last covered wooden bridges in Michigan that you can either walk through or drive a car through (if you ever saw the movie Beetlejuice it looks sort of like that, only longer).
A White Christmas In 2007
This year we were hoping for a white Christmas and it looked like we were going to get a really white Christmas. We got hammered with snow on December 17th, my birthday no less. James had to help shovel the snow because there was so much, and afterward we put together a snowman from a kit his Aunt Peg had gotten him a while bit. They kit came with everything except the snow, and mother nature provided plenty of that.
This would be James first snowman, and we had a ball putting him together. He lasted for about a week until a rain washed away most of the snow right before Christmas. The house really looked good with the now and the decorations, especially at night.
