Michele

  1. “Leslie’s Lacies” (ask Tricia, Bill and Cheryl about them!) ????
  2. I’m a traditionalist: It’s a Wonderful Life, followed closely by A Christmas Story
  3. Probably the biggest *GASP* on Christmas morning was for my first “real” bike – nothing has really matched that childhood excitement since (and that’s a long time) 🙂

Estefany

  1. I love a classic chocolate chip cookie with a fall twist, pumpkin.
  2. It is a tie between Jingle All the Way and Home Alone. Seriously, I love these movies equally.
  3. My first pair of in-line skates; it was the greatest gift ever. I remember being so happy and excited to learn to skate. This was a fun present, too, because where I lived in Colombia, the topography made the urban landscape quite tricky. There are hills everywhere, some really steep, some not so steep. Still, I remember zigzagging from house to house so that I wouldn’t fall.

Connor

  1. Snicker doodle
  2. Christmas with the Kranks
  3. I received a drum set when I was 11 which started the whole drumming thing that I’m still doing now!

Mariella

  1. Old-Fashioned Molasses Cookies
  2. Elf (by a long shot!)
  3. A play kitchen set that I truly believed Santa brought me. I woke up, and it was in my bedroom!
