Christmas Store Window

My daughter is in the multicultural club at her school. This past Friday they went on a field trip to look at Christmas displays...one was at the railroad museum and the other was at the downtown museum where they displayed the wonderful winter snowmen/women/children that were in the windows at a store called Prange's before the big bad mall came and took the windows away.

I sat at the table listening to my daughter talking about all the things she saw...the snow people which I always thought were so cute, then there was Bruce the Spruce. "Oh yeah! I remember him...he would talk to us!" My daughter said it was a girls voice so it did not make sense it was Bruce the Spruce.

Then she brought up the Kids Store....this was a roped off section of the store that absolutely NO ADULTS were allowed so the kids could get their parents something for Christmas. I loved going in this store. It was only two aisles and it was filled with gifts that had 'I love Mom" or I Love Dad'. I specifically remember getting my dad a bobble head football player hecause my dad was an official. I also remembr getting him a totally useless figure with wild orange hair all over his body. I cannot for the life of remember what I got my mom....probably a small vase or something.

It was cool my duaghter got to see what I saw at her age.

Family Update: The tree is still up, I am still cleaning, cleaning , cleaning, hubby is taking tomorrow off because he is having a stress test done. We also have my son's Christmas concert tomorrow. We got the ball rolling on getting my son tested for certain behaviors. I called to see how much money we had in the bank and for some reason our house payment has not cleared yet so we have to call about that, probably stop payment, right another check, blah, blah, blah. The weather is 45 degrees today....unreal!
