Everyone's a Critic

When our daughters we little, 5, 8,and 11 ( they are now 25, 28, and 31) my husband got tickets through his work and we went to our first Yuletide event. The girls and I got all dressed up and we "encouraged" him to as well. hehe. We drove downtown and we were just mesmerized by what we saw. The girls started asking the next year about the first of november are we going to the Yuletide daddy? So for many years that was our annual event for the holidays. The girls would love getting dressed up and loved when their daddy would say "you girls look so pretty" and off we would go. They are all married now with kids of their own, and just about a month ago the oldest called and said "dad are we going to the Yuletide, I think my girls would love to join in that tradition". Oh what wonderful words to this mom's ears. Three little girls growing up knowing every year they had that to look forward to and getting dressed up and getting to eat in a "real fancy place" was just about the closest thing to magic they knew. Now as grown women it is such a blessing that they want to carry on that tradition with their children and husbands. Thanks for providing this event for families and generations. I know what a difference it has made in our family. Luanne Reitzel Clayton In.
