The Guitar




So, Craig's dad and Grandpa built him a guitar for Christmas.  He has been wanting to learn how to play, so they built him a smaller one that he could handle easier.  For weeks, his grandparents have been joking with him that he would be getting socks and underwear for Christmas, and sure enough, the very last present under the tree was a package of underwear for Craig. Inside it was a note with a clue (and a guitar string, which he did not notice) about where he might find his gift. Pete's mom had laid out a series of clues, like a scavenger hunt, ahead of time. So, the whole family got up and followed around the house as he and Anna found and read the next clue! Everyone was beyond excited! The kids really got caught up in the excitement of the clues, and the adults new what he would find at the end of the adventure! So, when he finally realized that the gift was this guitar, he started jumping up and down! Most of the adults were in tears because of just how cool it was, and just how excited he was. The serious photos here are when people are telling him just how carefully he has to care for the guitar. I think he just looks so handsome even holding it with his red plaid Christmas shirt!
