Christmas 2003

We celebrated Christmas 2003 in Atlanta this year with Jeremy and Emily. Mom and Pop Brees were with Grandma Millie in Lake Charles and passed through on their way home.

A Boy and His Kite

Emily tipped us off that Jeremy wanted a kite. Rather than wrap it, we just assembled it that morning. The first words out of Jeremy's mouth was, "Who's is that?" Bingo.

Figuring out the Kite

After breakfast, we went to the local YMCA soccer fields and tried to fly the kite. Winds were variable and the darn thing required the skill of a military pilot to fly. More often that not, once up it simply cartwheeled and took a nosedive into the dirt.

LSU Duckie

We saw this and couldn't resist getting it for Dad. We think he should attach it to his person for the next Peachtree Road Race to really show his support.

Hot Sauce

Dad finally figures out what the name of the hot sauce means. He received Ring of Fire ("so hot it'll burn you twice") amoung others.
