I promise that I will update with more pictures soon because I have a ton but for now, I'm posting the kids Christmas lists. I think I'm going to brave black Friday this year so for anyone else that is just as crazy, I thought I'll give you some direction. These are just suggestions and we are TRULY appreciative of any gift.
Most of you know that I am planning on homeschooling the kids so I would really like to keep any gift on the educational spectrum. Jaiden is getting so close to being able to reading so anything that would help. I also want to start with the 50 states/geography and with that, add in some history. I will also be introducing telling time. I have added a few things to our Amazon wish list. It's under hugsarehealthy@yahoo.com. We are also planning on getting the kids a play kitchen. We have some "food" but anything along those lines would be great. As part of our reading comprehension, we are going to be reading a book then watching the movie to see what is different. I was thinking about the Disney classics like Dumbo, Bambi, Alice in Wonderland, The Adventures of Huck Finn and The Jungle Book. (We have The Jungle Book book but not the DVD).
As far as clothes, neither kid really needs winter stuff and summer stuff is hard to find now. Jaiden is always up for firetruck apparel though and right now, I'm buying 5T winter and summer. For Lilli, she is in 12 mo winter and hopefully 18 mo summer. She is just now fitting into her 12 mo stuff so... As far as shoes, 12 for Jaiden and 5 for Lilli.
As with most things lately, I stressed out about this list so it is by no means complete but that would take the fun out of it right. ;) If anyone have any ideas for Anna that they would like to share, I would be greatly appreciative. For me, I really want the things that money can't buy and I have everything I really want: my kids and a wonderful partner. I would really like a Georgia bird book that is organized by color and a magnetic wand for canning.
Well, here are a few picture from when we went apple picking recently...
Love and many hugs,
Steph, Anna, Jaiden, and Lilli
