when Gigi comes to town..

there is nothing quite like having gigi sweep into town. It is like a mix of Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, and Martha Stewart. which basically means  = everyone is happy.

 She comes with bags and bags of toys, candy, treats, cookies, gifts, clothes.

 I have been married into this family and the wonder woman for 6 1/2 years and i am still shocked by her generosity.

  She is on the floor with the girls, in her bed reading and cuddling for hours with them, playing doll house, feeding them, changing diapers, dressing, bathing...they get 100% of her attention.


  she also took down my christmas decorations, organized my attic, organized about every drawer in our house..and helped me create my FIRST REAL baby nursery! so exciting! i really should have taken before/after pics..but i just have after pics.



  It is such a blessing to have a vibrant, loving, extravagant Gigi that showers love on us.

highlights were:
