Your daughter and my girls are so similar - they spend all day dressing up and loved being in their dance recital a couple of weeks ago.

My last one of the year as it is time for a break. I am so glad you shared your special memories. That Santa and turkey ornament are beautiful. I know you don't know the Santa's history but when you pass it on maybe you could pass along the history? I game my neighbor's daughter something similar and told her the history. We'll see in 30-40 years if it impacted her.
