Aidens Birthday

Christmas is almost here......Wow how time flies!!! In a few days my baby will be 8. It is sad to think he is growing up. It just seems like yesterday Bill and I were making the calls to everyone telling them we were expecting for the 5th time.  I remember vividly some not so supporting and hurtful comments that were made.  Sometimes people dont agree with your decisions or they dont understand them, but this was one decision I KNOW we got RIGHT !!!  Aiden is the light of my life, and the most amazing son I could ask for, not a day goes by that he doesnt make me smile.  He is always thinking of others and is sooo loving. GOD has blessed us soo much!! This weekend we made homemade horsetreats with our horsebowl and hippology team at Rosebud ranch in Brookston it was a blast and the horses loved the treats, we are gonna have to start making these at home, these would be great gifts for our horsey friends. The kids and I are going to make some treats for the animals in the shelter in cass county for Christmas this year, I usually go buys some cat and dog treats and toys but I thought it might be nice to make some this year , so I am looking for ideas if anybody has any. Just a few more days and then Kenzie will be home for almost a month I cant wait!! I hope she doesnt get bored though, I know she is used to her school schedule. Around this time of year you hear alot about people helping other people out and volunteering their time I would like to challenge everyone as we should be doing these things all year round and not just at Christmas time, I know we are going to make a greater effort this year. I have recently discovered the online garage sale sites on facebook and I am soo addicted, we are trying now to raise funds for stalls for the horses so selling our unwanted things on here is helping, it is amazing what modern day technology has come to. The kids are looking forward to a break in homeschooling for Christmas Break, I am trying to talk them into continueing through so we can get out earlier in the year, but I think they are ready for the break.
