How do you buy your 3 year old their Christmas presents when they're always with you????!!!
Mick has been eyeing a Pirate Ship at Costco for quite some time. Last week while I was there I noticed their supply is dwindling, and Tom hasn't had a chance to stop by to see it yet. I figured I'd better get it while they still had some. I managed to get it on the bottom of the cart without him noticing and all was well, until I was in the prescription line - and he spotted the ship through the holes on the bottom of the cart!!! He was so excited!!! "WOW MOMMY!!! You got me the Pirate Ship!" with a smile that filled the whole store! I told him that I was so bummed that he saw it, that now I'd have to put it back.So he said, "it's OK Mommy, you can just hide it in your closet until Christmas!" (He sure knows his Mommy...that's EXACTLY what I was going to do!)
I had a heck of a time putting it back on the shelf, then back on the cart...and bought it without a hitch. As I was putting it in the car I asked another Mom to help me, and he SAW IT IN THE TRUNK!!! The other Mom told him that she was hiding the ship from HER son. ANYWAY, at this point, Mick thinks the other Mom took the ship for her son. The ship is safely hiding at my neighbor's house. I'll let you know if he was surprised!

One of our local malls has a nice train ride that Mick absolutely loves. This year Melissa gets to enjoy it too, and she sure loved it!
They both had a fabulous time!!

Hi Lisa and Tom,
Love your blog. Loessa told me about it before I got your Christmas card. Great idea. I envy you living in such a beautiful climate. So happy for you and wish you much health and success in the years to come. Happy New Year from the Romstedts.
Called Dick tonight to wish him Happy Birthday. We miss spending that special day with him as well as our times at June Lake. So nice visiting with him. I know it was special for Hugh to be able to say Hi. Take care and keep the news flowing when you have time--LOL.
