On Thursday the kids and I visited with Mrs. Delores. She wanted to take the kids to the Dollar Store so they could pick out their Christmas presents and then treat us to McDonald's in honor of C's birthday .[Seriously, his has got to be the most thoroughly celebrated 6th birthday EVER :]
When we got to the Dollar Store she told the kiddos that they could pick out two items each for Christmas and then C was allowed to pick out an additional two items for his birthday. I gotta say - this was perhaps one of the best kiddo Christmas present ideas of all times! I can not tell you how excited the kids were. I guess there's a lot of freedom in walking through a store and knowing that anything you see could be yours :) C picked out his 4 items in about 1 minute and never looked back...it's like he'd been dreaming of the day and had it already planned out :) G, on the other hand, took a great deal of time deliberating her options. Both are very happy with their selections!
After the Dollar Store we went to Micky-D's for lunch where the kids enjoyed a surprise ice cream cone treat!
Mrs. Delores is LOTS of fun! We are very thankful for her and know that the Lord has blessed us richly with her friendship!
I....LOVE....IT! Blessings Abound...What a dear friendship for the two peeps to remember! (I remembered NOT to use names!...progress!) Hugs to all. - what a drawn out celebration...hope he won't expect it every year now! LOL!
