Meet My Christmas Gift

Every year or for every occasion Ricky is always good a getting the best gifts for me! They are normally all surprises. This year my Christmas gift came the week of Christmas because he got me a kitten!!!! Totally was not expecting it! We have been married for 7 years and Seminole will turn 7 at the end of this month. We had a deal way back in the day when we got a dog we were going to get a cat too. That never happened. All for the best really because Seminole was a handful of a puppy!!! He is soooooooooo mellow now and is wonderful with the kitten. He could care less about her basically. She also has been a great little playmate for Amber. Amber takes her everywhere and tells her to play with her toys and acts like she is a little doll. The other day she even put her in the stroller and strolled her around! The kitten loved it! The kitten's name is Cutie and Amber named her :) We are enjoying our little addition to the Gipson clan! 

Playing catch up

Christmas, New Years Eve, and Ricky's birthday have all come and gone. Way too fast in my opinion. Amber loved opening presents this year and seeing what all she got. We got her a kitchen and she looks cooking in it. Some other things she received this year were puzzles, Little People Zoo set, Kitchen ware for her kitchen, play dough sets, an easel, baby doll highchair and a doll house. Not all of that was given by us! She is blessed with 3 sets of grandparents and they all spoil her!! Who knows what's gonna happen whenever the time comes that we have a second! 

New Years Eve was nothing spectacular. Well because lets face it, we are "boring parents" now :) We went out to eat and then went to walmart and then came home and spent the night watching it on TV. Which I was fine with Ricky and I haven't just sat on the couch and chilled out with him in a long time! We are either really busy, he is playing video games, or we have a little one around us! 

For Ricky's birthday we went with some friends and family to Abners and then headed to the bowling lanes. It was fun, even Amber bowled and she had a blast. On his actual birthday Amber and I gave him cards. One that she picked all by herself and I let her sign it. She also wanted to get him a happy birthday balloon (really it's mainly for her to play) :) And I fixed him a steak for dinner. Man loves his meat! :)
