This Christmas season I took Alexis out on a date to Barnes and Nobles. Alexis was first and then Rachel – both to the same place execpt on different days. Both girls purchased a book for their sister using a gift card they had earned from school. I also treated them to a Steamer (Alexis picked the peppermint flavor and Rachel chose caramel). I brought a peppermint Steamer home to Heather because she was kind enough to bring Rachel a stuffed animal at school. Apparently, Rachel forgot to do it for her assignment so mom bailed her out.
