Ho-Ho-Ho, It Must Be Jakob, I Mean Santa!

Jakob was (and is) such a funny kid!  He loved to play Santa, from October through Christmas!  It started with him taping Kleenex on his face for a beard, he then saw a white hand towel and asked if he could make it a Santa beard that could be washed, I of course couldn’t resist.  That beard started to get worn so we bought him a “REAL” Santa beard! 

And The Winner Is....

During Russ’ first deployment to Iraq, Megan thought it would be fun to enter a “Chanel 2 and Modern Display Holiday Home Makeover” contest. She had to send in an essay of 50 words or less on why her family should win, she won! She put in her essay, "My Mom is stressed, my Dad is deployed to Iraq and my Nana is on hospice. My Mom is sad, please help my Mom with a Holiday Home Makeover"!  She won our family one large tree, mantel decorations, three small trees, garland and outside lights!



Ally McKay from Channel 2 came out to do live shots at our house with Modern Display and a representative from Hill Air Force Base. Russ made the kids Build a Bears before he left and talked in them, Ally heard it and played it for the audience… Ally and the News desk were all choked up! It was a fun morning and the best part was having someone put my Christmas up (and winning a fabulous tree with decorations worth $5,000 plus)! Happy Holidays!!!
