War Eagle Gossom!

Thom Gossom, Jr. was the first African American athlete to graduate from Auburn University. He recently released a memoir, Walk On, detailing his integration experience. Cameron decided that Mr. Gossom would be a great subject for his history project this year. The theme is about the individual and the impact they had on history. Mr. Gossom was nice enough to sign Cameron's book and even allowed Cameron to interview him for his project!

Christmas Pictures

My friend, Kim, has a great post up about Christmas Pictures. Check it out here. My sentiments EXACTLY!!!

We'll be attempting to do something for our cards today. Given that, you may or may not receive a Christmas Card this year!

Skippy the Elf

I take great pleasure in introducing you to Skippy. Skippy is a magical elf that lives in the North Pole. Santa sent him to our house to keep a close eye on the boys and to report back if they should be on the Naughty or Nice List. At night, Skippy will fly back to the North Pole to report to Santa and play with his little elf friends. Each morning he hides in a different place in the house so we really have to keep our eyes open! However, there's one rule. Santa says we can't touch Skippy. If so, he will lose his magic and won't be able to fly back at night and report to Santa. On Christmas Eve he will take his final trip back to the North Pole and we won't get to see him again until next Christmas.

Landon absolutely loves his new friend. He has already read him his Christmas list and makes sure that he keeps his room cleaned and always brushes his teeth. Gosh, Skippy. Are you sure that you can't stay a bit longer?
