Christmas Wish List

We asked the kids what they wanted for Christmas this year. These were the responses we received:

Nick: "I want a DS and some games to go along with it, a DVD player for MY room, some new Wii games and.....(long pause), a baby brother." I guess we can provide the first few items for him, but we'll have to see about that last one! God has already decided if this next one will be a boy or girl. I just hope Nick isn't disappointed if it's another girl.

Kadence: "I want a Barbie, a Baby Alive, some Barbie clothes, some socks, some shoes (can you tell she's a girl?), and a Leapster! I think Santa's going to bring me the Leapster so you don't have to worry about it mom."

Kyra: "Baba" for Baby

We are going shopping soon for Project Joy. The kids are always so excited to help me pick out those gifts. Nick asked me this year if I knew who received the gifts. I told him I did not know. His response, "That's okay. It'll be like a surprise present for them!" What a sweetie!!!

I am making our "to-do" list and cannot believe the amount of things we have left to do before the big day! I think we're going to leave the baking part until last....it creates quite a commotion and a mess. The kids have a lot of fun though and Aaron and I enjoy eating their creations! I have a knack for "raw" cookie dough...LOVE IT. Guess I'll have to wait until next year to eat any as I don't want to risk having anything serious happen with the baby!

Merry Christmas from the Bowne's

Please check out the following website....something I created to go along with our Christmas cards and letters this year. You may need to make it full-screen before you play it...the pictures are a little fuzzy but you can see them better. (I made it high-definition, so it may take a little time to load, dependent upon your computer/internet settings.) Enjoy!

If that website doesn't take you to the video, then try this one below as well.
