Christmas in St. Charles

A quick visit with Pere Noel while walking down the street. There were Santas from many different nationalities!


We drove up to St. Charles, MO on Christmas morning and visited with the Fennells and Ewerts. The next day we enjoyed a walk through historic downtown St. Charles, complete with caroling and a small parade. (The above pictures were taken along our walk) We visited shops, one of which was built in 1796 and sold dulcimers and hand carved wood items. Some shops sold candles, some quilts, some yarns and knitting supplies, some clothes, and jewelry. One of the buildings was the first home of the first governor of Illinois.


A mother-daughter snuggle after dinner on Christmas day. You can never have too many snuggles!
