School Shopping

School shopping has been a tradition in our family, almost as important as the Christmas turkey.  I vividly remember my school shopping trips with my Grandma.  She would bring me to Thief River Falls, and we would stop at the local shops, and have usually have hot beef sandwiches at the Rex Cafe.  Then, I would come home, and my family would sit though a fashion show, in which I grandly displayed every single item purchased.  (bless their hearts, that had to be painful...)

Grammy Jane has kept this occasion alive, and comes each year to, and take the ninja to the mall. 

The boy does not do a fashion show, but I am quite certain we have several in our future.
