A huge accomplishment this year...started shopping early and started wrapping early - presents under the tree a week before Christmas...NO WAY! The kids were awesome helpers - especially Peyton - she loves making bows and writing names on the gift tags!
A day of Christmas shopping done her in!
Christmas Eve - 15 minutes 'til opening - the line at Honeybaked Ham!
So, the Thursday before Christmas - the 22nd, I think, we went to Cousins Barbeque for dinner. They had a giant stocking hanging over by the drink station and a box to enter-to-win! You were supposed to write your name and phone number on the back of your receipt from your meal and drop it in the box. Peyton filled ours out...she was so funny, which number do you think I should put down so they can get ahold of us when we win...I adore that positive attitude!
So, we're coming out of Buffalo Wild Wings after a night of playing the trivia game and Patrick's phone rings - or he checks his messages or something - I had headed out to get the car started - it was cold outside that night...and he says something that lets the kids know it might be Cousins. They are beside themselves with Giant Stocking Joy! When they finally get in the car, they are bouncing off the inside - Patrick plays the message on speaker phone and they squealed like they had just won a million dollars - it was classic and funny and wonderful!
And here it is - 6 feet of mesh stocking filled with toys - one entry, the night before the drawing...she is a lucky one!
some of the toys were great - some not so great - the kids asked that we leave the ones they were too old for or didn't want out for Santa to take to kids who might need some toys...made me proud time a thousand!
very cool art kit
6 feet of stocking full of toys is too much for one little girl!
