GIFTS: Thinking out of the box and getting your kids involved
Every year when Elie's birthday comes around, I find myself wondering what to get for the man who has everything! I adore my husband, but he is difficult to shop for. So this year I decided to take the pressure off of me and asked the kids for some input. Elie and our son are attached at the hip on game days - whether it's football, baseball or basketball. Our boy is always catching or tossing some kind of ball around our movie room with my husband, so we decided to buy Elie a pair of Chuck Taylor's. When the weather warms up, the two of them can head (outside) to the courts to shoot a few baskets (instead of knocking down baskets of snacks all over the movie room)! My daughter quickly chimed in that the shoes were not pretty enough...so that's when Mom came up with the idea to decorate the shoes. The 3 of us had one of those afternoons that I will hold dear to my heart forever. Laughing, squirting paint at each other and making a happy mess. Covered in glitter and paint under our fingernails, the kids were so proud of what they had made. As I watched them put the final touches on the gift, I knew that I would forever cherish this moment filled with their giggles and happy chatter . The next day, when Elie unwrapped the box, he was so moved that he put the shoes on immediately. Adorable is not a word I would usually use to describe my Elie, but in those shoes with the kids running around him...he was adorable. Try something different when you gift give this year... something made with a whole lot of love and a little puffy paint can outshine a neck tie any day of the week.
