On Christmas Eve I gave each of the girls a special gift, something silly that was either a joke or a represented the person. Sabrina got a "lunch pack" of gummy foods (the gummy pizza, burgers, sour fries, etc.) since she always chooses gummy pizzas when she gets to pick a treat at the store; a "Hair-Do Harriet" (like a Wooly Willy) where they use a magnet stylus in order to move filings to design crazy beards, since she designed her own hair style; a set of vinyl butterflies to put on her wall (she is my "little butterfly") and a bottle of mustard. She always requests "mustard only" on hamburgers or hotdogs. She has made a point of telling me how often she has used the mustard, lol. Lizzie got a set of techie things from the dollar store -- a stylus pen that fits in her kindle cover, a screen cleaner, and a cool "anti-gravity" pen that writes every direction, including upside-down. She also got a little clip-on puppy because EVERYTHING has been puppies for LIzzie, since she was tiny; and a lego mini-fig. Kate got a frying pan. Remember several weeks ago when there were some teens climbing on our roof when she was home alone? when I got home she was hiding under her bed with a frying pan. So I got her a tiny frying pan -- an awesome heavy cast iron one! and printed instructions for safe handling instructions of a firearm...er, frying pan. ;) (She also loves cooking, so the frying pan will certainly be a good start to a set of good cooking implements). I hope to continue the tradition. This year the girls didn't get sleep cd's (a music compilation put together by Dad and burned onto discs so they can listen to them while going to bed. He's also written up the reason for choosing each song, which is awesome)., so maybe we'll alternate sleep cd's and goofy gifts ;) It was a lot of fun! via Facebook
