I believe that we have spent one actual Christmas Day with you, and it was in Knoxville. I remember the trip well. You made the yummy cornflake wreaths, I remember everyone wearing volunteer orange, I remember the cousins showing us where to play in the red mud (clay), and possibly going to the worlds fair? Was that the same trip? I remember being soooo excited to get a chance to see the cousins we never saw! How excited we must have been! Did we go to some farm this trip also? I think we have a picture of us all lined up on a fence at a farm. I remember that Santa came early to our house so we could make the drive down. How long did we stay?
