Wednesday is my birthday and since I will be 30 we are celebrating ALL week:) We had a birthday lunch with Greg's family yesterday and that was the beginning of the festivities:) (thanks guys lunch was wonderful! )
Tonight I come home from bible study and Greg had taken the kids shopping for my birthday and wow, they picked some really special things for me;) Greg decided to let me open now because Reese was gonna tell me anyway:) Now before I tell you what they got me I must explain something. They both are now old enough to earn their own money by doing chores and they have been saving money to buy me a gift. Well Greg lets them totally pick whatever they want and so that can be a bit creative when it's done by a 3 and 5 year old:)
So ok-- from Reese I got a hanging flower pot which is actually pretty nice cause we have all these hooks on the backyard porch with no pots on them:) Now Abby's gift is a bit more...well, funny---she got me onion plants. She told me she picked them for 2 reasons- first because I love onions (which is true) and second because they were a pretty purple color which is one of my favorite colors (so thoughtful) Greg was cracking up the whole time I was opening the gifts and when I was done opening and thanking the kiddos I asked the kids what they wanted to get Daddy for his birthday in 6 weeks---hehe...just you wait Greg. I'll let them be as creative as they want!
-I do want to add though that I love my gifts and am so proud of the kids and their hard work in raising their money...these really are some of the most special gifts I have gotten because I know they are purely from their sweet little hearts--I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world!
