We almost have every gift we need. I forgot how hard it is shopping for five children with different tastes, wishes, lists and desires.
Our oldest boy didn’t actually ask for anything this Christmas. Well, actually he asked my mom for two things, but didn’t tell us anything, so he proved to be a bit more challenging. We finally settled on a stereo, because…well…he’s 13. Santa will bring it though.
The oldest girl is a manga, origami loving artist. She is so creative. Santa is bringing her some roller blades that she has been wanting for a long time, and we’re giving her a whole bunch of origami stuff and some manga drawing books.
The middle girl is our writer. Just like her step-mama. We bought her an alpha-smart for her birthday so we were trying to locate a case for her. That hasn’t happened yet. She’s also a monkey lovin’ Bobby Jack wearin’ kid. So we decked her out in some serious duds.
The second youngest girl (my youngest) is a born rider. Everything horse. In fact, there isn’t one thing for her under that tree that doesn’t scream horse or “I’m a rider!”. (not literally of course). Except the roller skates Santa is bringing. She really wanted those.
The very youngest (his youngest) girl is a pig lovin’ wannabe cheerleader. So we got her some cheer stuff, pig stuff and well, she’s easy. She’s getting skates from Santa too.
Woohoo! Just a few more odds and ends like stocking stuffers and we are DONE!
How are you doing?
