My Sweet Savannah

When I came up from watching a chick flick the other night this is what I found. Savannah put a lot of thought into this surprise.

Needless to say, I stayed up a little later and cried about the movie and about how grateful I am for my great daughter, Savannah.

Alyssa's Emergency Shelter

Alyssa and Drake have been working on building and all nature teepee in the woods. They did a REALLY great job. I think we could stay there if we truely had to.

It's incognito. Can you see it?

Isn't she incredible?

The builders!

It fits four kind of comfortably

Merry Christmas!

Can we go now?

Giant stuffed animals. Yay!

Emma Grace Scored!

Doesn't look like much for Logan. He was too busy playing with his tractors and new bounce house to let me take a picture.

Alyssa got the Electric Guitar & Rug she wanted. Now she can "WAIL"!

Savannah got stuff for girls camp (their going in tents) & a sewing machine

Tractors!? Nope, PJ's.

Logan was so excited when I tossed him a tiny present to open on Christmas eve. "Is it my tractor?", he asked. Nope. Just PJ's. He was still super excited.

Best Christmas Pagent Ever-Dec.

Teenager?!?!

I don't feel old enough to have a teenage daughter. But she went and did it. She turned 13.

She really is a sweetheart and we love her more every day. Happy Birthday, to my favorite 13 year old girl in the whole wide world.

Savannah has a heart of gold. For the second year in a row she chose to give her Birthday party gifts to a "Christmas Angel". This year she actually got to shop for two, a little girl and a little boy. All of her friends love it, too. apparently they have been talking about it all year. It's good for these spoiled rotten kids to think about someone who is truely in need. they are pretty cute to take shopping. Some of the things they pick out are hilarious. I have to remind them that the kids are just little and sweats are MUCH prefered over skinny jeans in the under 4 age group.
