The kids were up at 6:30 this morning. Of course, last night while we were setting out the presents, Olivia needed to go to the bathroom! I caught her before she saw anything though, and covered her eyes and walked her through and back. Whew! LOL
All of the kids were thrilled beyond measure at the stuff they got. I tried not to cry through all of the opening. We were blessed so much by our “Angel Santas” I can’t even begin to tell you what it meant to us.
Besides the gifts of clothes and toys (& make up, iTunes cards, shoes, jackets) our Angels also gave us a Target gift card, and a set of pots and pans! I got a wallet and a really sweet smelling bath set from them too. THANK YOU!!
I got John some clothes, and he got me a few little sentimental gifts(very thoughtful!). He made me a DVD too(I haven’t watched it yet).
The Facebook Santa gave us a $25 gift card for Applebees!! I’m so excited!! Our 18th Anniversary is next Saturday(yep, New Year’s Day! You should have heard the social worker in Ukraine when she found out our anniversary is on New Year’s! ), we’ll be using that gift card for our Anniversary lunch! THANK YOU!!!
Of course, Timothy is playing now… with the boxes! LOL He’s too funny. He got a little overwhelmed with the unwrapping process, but he got back on track pretty quick. hehe

ReplyDeleteJennifer, don't feel bad...i did the same thing!! I love that he is getting to learn so much and when i was at Mel's the other day Timothy got off Daddy's lap and came to me with his arms up! He was pointing at things and and people and telling me what they were. He is changing so fast, it's amazing! He has little cheeks now and a belly!! HE IS FILLING OUT!! I could still just squeeze him and never let go!!
