| One of my very favorite Christmas traditions is our Secret Santa with the Sacksteders and Mimi and Papa. Claire came up with the idea and made it happen...We pick names-a kiddo picks and adult (or Andy) and vice versa. We have a $15 limit and we have to make our person something. It's so awesome how thoughtful and creative everyone is! |
