note to self: for future reference, have hidden Zerelda's birthday stuff in back of our closet. it's kinda obvious what they are and she's the grandkid who might be here to stumble onto them in garage....

also did some sorting and digging through the treasures I've stashed in the trunk...Relda's bear needs a patch. and ordered her a few more things to go with what I have. she probably needs a book of some kind. they all will. and a journal or notebook. the countdown is on for Z. next month. have more time on the other girls. but it sneaks up on you. have 1 gift for Izzy so far. 2 for Millie. quite a few for Violet. and some small stuff for Ian. have Katie and Braydens. not sure what I'll do to go with $ this year...kinda bored with the books. have one duplicate toy that will be a Christmas Toys for Tots.
