For Micky and Brenna's Christmas gift they chose a date with me to hand-pick their gift. Our first stop was Subway (their choice) where we devoured a delicious lunch. Hobby Lobby was our next destination. Kenzie loves crafts and found a wonderful color-by-number. Following a tradition my mother started with David and I when we were little, I let the girls each pick an ornament from me. Doing this yearly makes for some fun memories!
Brenna is not the hobby type and requested a Target stop. After being turned down at her selection of a pricey Barbie, she settled on a fluffy stuffed dog. She failed to mention to me she already owns two very similar at home. Oh well, she seems to love this one just as much as the previous two. Upon exiting Target, the girls reminded me of our fatal mistake. We had forgotten a gift for Princess Shaylee! At age 2, Shay would have had a hard time forgiving me for leaving her behind and then failing to bring the promised present. Lucky for her I needed to re-fuel my car and Tiger Mart Express was close by. Inside we found the magical band-aid bubble gum specially designed for two-year-olds. After purchasing this and a pack of gum for Micky and Brenna we loaded ourselves back into the car and headed to the Sorke house to meet Kim.
The gum sure did the trick. Shaylee was quite proud to run in the house and show of her new treasure. The following day when I was on the phone with Kim my ears were met with the sound of Shaylee talking to her sisters about HER gum. By the end of that day, the entire pack had been consumed by our beautiful queen. The beauty of 2. Wouldn't you love to be satisfied by a pack of gum for Christmas?
