What? As is, a duck to eat? I hate to judge (okay, not really), but she definitely didn't look like the type of person who would be serving duck on her Christmas table.

I was talking to an adorable 6 year old yesterday (whom I have known since she was a baby) and she told me she was going to be 7 on her next birthday. I said,"You need to stop getting older." She said, as she threw up her hands, "I just can't help it!" Oh, and she had that adorable no front teeth grin. :)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16832521649509135897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-11771916617869892402010-12-20T14:25:02.897-05:002010-12-20T14:25:02.897-05:00Joyce, it all sounds perfect.

I agree, toddlers could not do all of those things however my 29 year old won't either. She wrapped some presents but that was it. Bitched when she had to make cookies for a party at work and I wouldn't help! I will be baking this week. I feel better about things too, it's all finally coming together.

They are now 20 & 18 and have boyfriends. Boyfriends that have families that I have to share time with :( Thank you Jesus that I like their boyfriends else I would have a really hard time with all of it. <br /><br />Mind you, I still have a 6 yr son who cuddles with me but he comes with nerf guns, race cars & basketballs. Harder to cuddle when there's shooting, racing, and bouncing to be done.
