The Best Birthday Present of All Time
My husband and I have birthdays in December 8 days apart. As you can imagine, our birthdays sometimes get combined with Christmas celebrations or downplayed in the busy season. Which actually, is totally fine. We are both approaching a new decade milestone and don't mind if the birthday gets overlooked in the hub bub of Christmas. As I was discussing with my husband his list of needs and wants, he came up with the most brilliant idea of all time . "How about the kids with you parents for a whole weekend? No money spent on their part and pure bliss for us." Uh, yes. Why didn't I think of that? Thankfully, I have a mother that has a heart for service and a step dad that is laid back and agreeable to most anything. Even to four kids invading his home Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. Pretty agreeable, huh? He'll have them collect an endless supply of black walnuts that litter their property and rake leaves and pick up rocks and move them to anoth
