Christmas Sunday

Years ago my mom started a tradition of giving the grandchildren new Sunday clothes for Christmas. As they got older, she started giving them money to pick out their own outfits. After she died, my dad kept the same tradition. Every year the kids look forward to new church duds - now they are from Grandpa and their new sweet Grandma Kathie. Thank you!

Must be Santa

Today Santa was at one of our stores in town. I made sure to leave home twenty minutes early, in hopes to get a good place in line. To my suprise, no one was there!! Our lucky day, Beau was the very first person to sit on Santa's lap. Santa knew he was a Skinner kid, he knew his grandparents, and he knew his daddy was Clay (we really live in a small little valley). Beau asked for a remote control car and for Bailey a live Elmo that is her size. Bailey wasn't as excited as Beau was, but she was happy to sit on Santa's lap. Now I can check another think on my Christmas "to do" list.
