The Tradition...

STOP the PRESS! A CAULEY FAMILY PHOTO!!!
(soon to be transferred to canvas and hung above the mantle)

Years ago when I worked at Squire Creek Country Club part of my job was to create magical moments for the members and their families. The kind of moment you dedicate scrapbooking pages, yearly photo collages and blog pages to. The kind of memories you want to share with extended family and friends. Hence, Breakfast with Santa came to life. I used to greet moms at the door with arms full of ruffled bottoms and lacy socks, or smocked collars detailing puppy dogs or reindeer. Now I am that mom straightening red bows and tugging at the hems of their dresses. Nevermind my own frazzeled hair and sleepy face. Nothing a few cups of coffee after posing with Santa won't cure. Nonetheless, this tradition, the one we share with friends, is precious to my heart. My big heart that loves having an event to look forward to. My big heart that loves helping write letters to Santa, and wiping syrup off of sticky hands year after year. Thank you club, for the tradition.
