I went to town yesterday to do some shopping and such. Hannah’s birthday is this Saturday so we got her birthday gifts as well as school shopping done. {Yay! Done!} Growing up, my grandma would take each grandchild out to lunch and then birthday shopping, just the two of them. I loved it. That’s what I do with my kids now. They love being able to hear mom say, “Yes” when they see something they want rather than, “Not today.” They have a certain amount of money they get to spend and they can get whatever they want. For Christmas, Lance and I do it without them so they get surprise gifts, but I love that they can choose their own birthday gifts. So now that the long day is behind me, on to the party…
