I don't think I've come across a single person who doesn't like getting a present.
Today was present day around our house.
D&E had a shopping day with Sissy.
For their birthday, Sissy told the girls that she would take each of them out to shop for their birthday presents from her & my brother-in-law.
After a very busy July, today was the day.
Sissy picked up E at the house and off they went.
D & I hung out at home a bit and then headed out to run a couple errands.
The plan was to meet E & Sissy at the mall for lunch at Bertuccis.
All 4 of us enjoyed a nice lunch together.
And E got to tell D all about the things she picked out.
A skateboard, a nerf gun, a yo yo set-including a how-to book, some earrings, and a few other things.
She had a great morning. Just bubbling with excitement. Not only from the shopping, but getting time with Auntie.
After lunch, off D & Sissy went for their couple hours of shopping together.
I had a couple more errands to do, so E & I went off to do those.
And before we knew it, it was time to meet D & Sissy.
And just like E, D couldn't wait to tell her sister what she bought with Auntie.
Mousetrap-the board game, a t-shirt from Gap Kids, a magic/card trick book, a necklace, she stuffed a Kermit at Build-A-Bear, and a few other things.
She too was beyond thrilled not just from the shopping, but with the time spent with Auntie.
Sissy gave me a little gift too. Time spent alone with each of the girls.
Don't get it too often, but it's wonderful when it happens.
It was a fantastic day all around. Thanks Sissy!
I had a wonderful day! We've decided we're going to do it again next year =)
