when i was 10 years old, my aunt sat me down and told me that she would buy me anything i wanted for christmas. she told me to write out a list, and she would get me something off that list.
oh man, did i edit my list. i begged my mom to visit bookstores upon bookstores to write out a list with my favorites. i was particularly drawn to a young adult box set of books that i can't recall anymore. all i know is that i really really wanted that set. i carefully labeled it #1 in bold red ink and listed the exact location of the exact bookstore that it could be found at.
christmas came, and i excitedly opened my aunt's gift to find that she did not get me anything on my list. she had given me heated slippers. the caveat? they were in a women's size 7. i don't even wear that size now.
i was crushed.
now that i am an aunt myself, i have determined that i will never ever stray from any list from the young ones in my family. being that my cousin's precious baby A is only 3 months old, I asked Vic what A may like for christmas.
Vic showed me a picture that just slayed me with cuteness. The most perfect tiny moccasins in gold.
Put in an order, and cannot wait to see these on A next time!
