T'was the week before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring-
Not even a mouse....(see, it even says so on my favorite Christmas pillow)
The stockings were hung by both chimney's with care,
In hopes that St. Nick would soon be here.
And, really that's all of the poem that goes with my post, but
I don't want you to think I'm not the host with the most.
This tree, it's my favorite so far that we've had. It's 10 feet tall and for that I am glad!
It makes me smile every time it lights up, and we get to decorate it with ornaments & such.
This year there is a new tree in our home. It's so pink and really nifty...
And the best part is, it's decorated with Hello Kitty.
My girl loves its seriously pink glow,
And for all that come over, its her pleasure to show.
All the nutcrackers are out, there are many you'll find....
(Having no other place for this little number) ...I decided to add this to Gavin's room. Which in turn caused me to have to buy this today:
because-"that is so NOT fair".
Gavin is 8 years old. His age will always be easy to remember- he is a millenium baby. And he has a lifetime of free tickets to see the Globetrotters. Really. Did you know that? Did you sign your millenium baby up for that? He was born a cowboy, and I am not just saying that because we are a serious OK State family. He was born a cow-poke kind of cowboy. Horses, boots, cows, Gunsmoke, you name it, he loves it. This is somewhat of an issue, since we don't live on a ranch or farm. I have had to seek out riding lessons since age 3. He also loves Davy Crockett and military history. I think he may have been born in the wrong era! Gavin also is ADD, diagnosed at age 6 by brain EEG scan. He is on Vyvanse daily. Our doctor specializes only in this field and the scientific measurement and treatment. This is important! We still have daily struggles and challenges. ADD kids do not like structure and schedules. The school year can make him very grumpy. Having a clean room is nearly impossible. But, he's a sweet kid & eager to please. He is very athletic and loves baseball and football- especially throwing! He would play catch for hours.
This is my Grayce. She is four. Born four years and 2 days after her big brother. My due date was the same with both, and since I tend to have large children- I get induced. So, of course at the time, Gavin wanted her to be born on his birthday, but thank the good Lord I had the foresight to nip that in the bud and have him pick another day. A day AFTER his birthday. These 2 kiddos are a little competitive in nature. Anyway, she is my girl. A girly girl, a sweetheart and loves to do all things girly. Shopping and dressing and putting on make-up. And bossing, and telling on her brother, and socializing. Socializing. That is a big one. She does not know a stranger, that girl. She is often the belle of the ball. She knows just how to sugar you up with compliments and hugs & kisses. And she has a giggle like none other.
