Who Do You Have This Year?




So I thought I would post this here so then everyone could find it. If you don't like how it was done this year you are more than welcome to take up the task next year. We will see how it goes once and move on from here if it does not work. We will thank dad for doing the drawing. Unbiased! The usual limit of no more than $30. Have fun and put a little Spirit into it. This should be fun and not hard. Remember it is the thought that counts.

Love you all - Hallie
