Presents Every Day?

It has been way too long since I blogged.  A friend has recently chewed me out reminding me that blogging is as much for me and my kids as anyone else.  It is to keep a diary of our lives for later.  A better diary then I can keep here.  So my desire to let long distance family see moment to moment as Lexi got to open her birthday present got me up and started again.

So this diary entry… or blog entry… is dedicated to Aunt Lanette and Uncle Phil (and their amazing children):

First, an adorable box arrived on Monday, March 4th.  We got home so late that it didn't get seen by the newly minted 7 year old until the next day after school.  But then….

She read the label.  Who could it be from?  Is it really to her?



Once she was sure it was really hers to open...

She pulled out the card...

And read it very carefully.  I admit the note was confusing that stated that her mommy said she could print off patterns online.  So the gift was just the supplies and not a kit… oh her mommy has a bad memory and was at a total loss! What did I say?  What did I do?  

Until Lexi reached in side and smiled!  She had fun...

Pulling out one after another...

Of all the different colors of duct tape!  Yeah crafting world as we  Lexi takes you by storm!  Now… mommy needs to start printing off those plans from the Internet!  I see gifts of pencils, rings, crafts and maybe even clothes!

Thank you Aunt Lanette and Uncle Phil!  Your surprise gift in the mail made a 7 year olds day!
