My kids are about at the very perfect ages. I'm really truly enjoying them. They're not teens yet so I don't have to worry about mouthing off, dating, talking forever on the phone, and driving. At the same time though, they're old enough to do most things on their own, which I love. A couple of years ago, when they were just 5 and 8, they first decided they wanted to use their own money to start buying Christmas gifts for family. It's become a tradition for them. My oldest really gets into it. This year she is trying to get the most for her money, but at the same time, buy completely fabulous gifts for everyone on her list. She's so cute about it and this is what she said to her Papa last weekend:
AJ: Papa, what do you want for Christmas this year?
Papa: Well, I love chocolate, you know. You can get me chocolate like last year.
AJ: But papa, I want to get you something that you will keep forever.
Isn't that adorable? So much cuter than the Christmas she was one and we had to call poison control because she was eating grandma's poinsettias.
