Christmas 2002



The Christmas Train (a MetroLink train) stopped in Moorpark early in December. It was decorated with a lot of lights and volunteers put on a little show. All they asked in return was a donation of unwrapped toys for distribution to needy children.




Somehow, the little show on the train featured an alien, Santa, a snowman, a bear, an elf, and Mrs. Claus. There wasn't a big plot.




We celebrated Christmas with the Sweitzers on December 22nd. The children were all present, although they're definitely bigger now than the last time I took one of these pictures. David is 25, Jason 21, Lisa 19, Sarah 17, Kurt 14, Jenny 13, Roger 4, and Alan 2.




Roger was thrilled with his gift of an aircraft carrier model with several different planes to play take-off and landing.




Christmas morning.




Roger liked the cinnamon rolls for breakfast.




Lisa gave Roger the game of Sorry, figuring that it would be more fun than Candyland for her to play with him. After initial dismay about the 'Sorry' rule, Roger really liked the game.




We made traditional Christmas pizza for dinner on the 25th.




Mother and Dad had been retrieved from LAX by Glen and Jenny in the afternoon, so they got their own special pizza.




Jenny is ready on the morning of the 26th to distribute these loaded stockings.




Alan digs to the bottom of his stocking.




Aunt Wendy and Uncle Steve gave Roger this door easel. Thank goodness he was willing to share with Jenny and Alan.
