The Philips Family

What do you do for a Christmas shirt when your child will ONLY wear a shark shirt to school?  I have a simple solution.  Cut out a Santa hat, and glue it on with Elmer's  glue.  It will come right off in the wash.  You will only get one wear, but it is perfect for the last day of school before Christmas break.

 Mallory wouldn't ask Santa for anything because she just wanted a "candy can".  David asked Santa for a hot wheels track that you stick on the wall.  My sweet little angel, Bree asked for Rogue to get something in her stocking.  And, Donny.  Donny asked for a dragon.

Happy 11th Birthday to my sweet boy.  So excited to get $10 from a friend.  Almost as exciting as getting his very own box of hot cocoa.  Overwhelmed, and planning his breakfast for tomorrow.  Mallory was excited for her Donny, Big Big. Fished what I wanted!

Happy birthday to my sweet Mallory! I think Shalayne wanted to put this doll into her own private mommy stash.

I would like to personally thank Little Tikes for the special kind of "heck" that is wrapping a Lalaloopsy doll.  If you have ever wrapped one, you know exactly what I am talking about.  If not, just buy a bag if you ever plan on giving one as a gift. I do not consider myself challenged at gift wrapping.  In fact, I would say I slightly excel.  But this whole lalaloopsy thing made me feel as though I had never wrapped a gift before in my life.  I am happy to report that after many folds and a whole lot of tape I wrapped the doll.
