Xmas 1999 Pictures

Xmas 2000

Here is a picture of our front yard all lit up for the holidays. Notice anything missing this year? Over the summer we finally cut down those two giant evergreen trees.

This is another picture of our house all lit up for Christmas. I took this one from across the street so you could see almost everything.

This is a picture of Tommy standing in front of our tree this year. Too bad JR could not be with us this Christmas to celebrate with us :(

This is a picture of The famous Trinkaus sign donated to Rome. Here it is all lit up on our city parking garage.

Here are some other ornaments that were donated to Rome after the Trinkaus Manor fire destroyed almost all of the spectacular Christmas display. All of these displays now cit in our City's central park. There is the mouse that went up the clock, a large church, the houses of the 3 pigs, and of course, Mr. & Mrs. Santa's House with a giant illuminated rocking horse in the front yard.

This is a picture of Tommy as he finds out that he got the "Game Boy Shock n Roll" addition for his favorite toy. He looks pretty happy.

This is a picture of me clowning around with our dog Pepsi and a stuffed animated bear. I was helping my parents decorate their house for Christmas. I think long, gold hair looks good on me :)

This is a picture of our young cousins at Christmas time. Our cousins come out to my house every year for a Christmas dinner and to exchange gifts. On the couch (l to r) are Nick and Michael and on the floor (l to r) are Angela (Nick's sister) and Melissa (Michael's sister).

This is another picture of our cousins opening up their presents. The girl in the bottom left of the picture is Katie (Nick and Angela's sister).

Here is a picture of Tommy opening up his brand new TV/VCR combo. He had been asking "Santa" for this all year.

What!!!! Where are all the presents?!?!?!?!

Looks like Tommy found some more presents...... Here he is opening another one.

This is a picture of our door for the 2000 Christmas Decorating contest. We only got honorable mention this year. But we demanded a recount because there were a lot of votes with hanging chads.
