I took my bride on a date and came up with a few Christmas present ideas for our six squirts. But our minds drew blanks as we stared into each others eyes, degrading into passionate kissing in the booth. Hey! We got a free drink out of the deal!
So, tonight, with Kristine on a plane back from The Big Easy, I plied the kids with hot chocolate and then begged them to tell me what they wanted for Christmas. Here was their list:
Renaya (11):
Laura (10):
Fred (8):
Felicity (6):
Jack (4):
Analisse (3):
I'll also try and give them a better dad.
So, tonight, with Kristine on a plane back from The Big Easy, I plied the kids with hot chocolate and then begged them to tell me what they wanted for Christmas. Here was their list:
Renaya (11):
- A phone
- Wii Go Vacation game
- A gun (she wants to go hunting with her best friend)
- No clothes...except for maybe jeans (she was VERY adamant about this)
- Walkie Talkies for her and her best friend (this is her second choice, if she doesn't get a phone)
- A baby alligator (her mommy went to New Orleans and posed with one in the swamps...not sure what she'll do when the bloody thing grows up)
- Modeling clay (and possibly a kiln)
Laura (10):
- A gun
- Barbies (when I told her she had hundreds (the kids use them as bath toys), she switched this to clothes for Barbies)
- Jeans
- A Kindle (originally, she wanted a Nook, but they serve Starbucks at Barnes and Nobles, the original owner of the brand, and David Barton says that drinking Starbucks is treasonous to America, so I was forced to steer her clear of anything connected to them)
- A wristwatch
- Modeling clay
Fred (8):
- A gun
- Authentic army clothes and gear (including a real knife, Nerf guns (not sure why the knife is real but not the guns), a hat, a jacket, shirt, pants, socks, and boots. He was very careful to list everything.)
- iPad
Felicity (6):
- Backpack
- Bubble gum
- Shirt with a cat on it (pointing to her chest)
- Dance lessons (with a microphone so she can practice)
- Face painting set
Jack (4):
- A race car set
I don't know anything eeeeeelse!D'awwwwwww....
Analisse (3):
- A present
- iPad
I'll also try and give them a better dad.
