It all began with gift cards, two to be exact...

So the story begins on Christmas Day when both boys received WalMart gift cards. They both knew exactly what they wanted~~Trey had his heart set on the Lego Star Wars game to go with our new Wii and Jesse wanted a Little Einsteins bath toy. And...they both wanted them RIGHT NOW! And do you know what...WalMart actually closes for Christmas. Oh, how heartbreaking this news was to our two little ones. These gift cards were burning holes in their pockets! However, my two boys are also extremely lucky and blessed! Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Chris took pity on them and their plight and took them to lunch and WalMart the day after Christmas. Anyone who has kids knows that it is not always a fun time taking them to Wally World. And while Trey always knows exactly what he wants to spend his gift card on, Jesse can be a little more difficult (i.e. he changes his mind. A. LOT.) Add to that the day after Christmas craziness and we can be assured that Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Chris had their work cut out for them. The boys were so excited though to be going off on this adventure and they both came home with exactly what they wanted plus an extra game. Jesse's bath toy is a bubble maker and neither one of them could wait to try it out. And this thing makes a ton of bubbles...so many that Jesse said that we couldn't even see them anymore!

Thanks Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Chris!
