While I was looking at my calendar in the early part of December, I noticed something strange...I had a week with nothing on it for the boys, what???? no purple for Andrew, no Green for Trevor, no Blue for Austin, no Pink for Ava, no Red for Tyler, and no Black for Tom or I....what did my brain just see but yet an open week where we had NOTHING to do....that week happended to fall from Dec 26-Jan 2...
I started looking on line and calling a travel agent and lo and behold a plan started coming into place. A beautiful plan, now only if the kids would like it.
I asked all the boys if instead of doing presents we would take a family vacation, a cruise! They all said ABSOLUTELY, except Austin wanted these $26.00 headphones! So plans were made and I have to tell you, it was so nice not doing ANY presents for the kids....ok Ava got a few Barbies, smiles abound on Christmas day just watching Ava opening her Barbies that the boys gave her.
