Worst mother of the year!

So I win the worst mother of the year award. I ordered Christmas cards from costco with just our Disneyland family picture. I remember trying to figure out how to fit all of our names on it. Squishing and moving the names around I finally figured it out, and was happy about how it all worked out. So on Saturday we delivered one to a friend in the neighborhood. About ten minutes later I get a text from her saying, " Thanks. Forgot Kenzie?" I text back, "Forgot Kenzie?" Yep here we go.......drum roll please for the worst mother of the year award......I forgot Kenzie's name on the Christmas card. I guess with all of the fixing and changing it all fit nicely because we were missing a name. Aaaahhhh! I felt so bad I got a little bit of tears in my eyes. It probably wouldn't even be that bad, but Kenzie and I have our struggles so It makes me feel even worse. So.....Kenzie girl I am sooooooo sorry. I love you so much! What would we do without you in our family? We decided to write in her name, and I promise I will never do that again!

OMG! Kara I think I completely understand where you are coming from! Me and Presley have our issues so whenever something happens to her, like a biscuit falls to the ground, and not thinking I hand it to her.. Im like DAMN IT, is it cuz we got in a fight that day, and secretly I wanted to give her that one? I know that sounds weird but we are soo trying to overcome our issues and any little thing that I wouldnt think twice about with Keagan I have to with her, cuz I so want us to get along!! It sucks about your card and Im sorry I totally get where your coming from!

Oh, no! I guess we all have our kids like that huh? Ry is mine. Darren says it's because she is too much like me! :)
I'm sure Kenzie loved that her name was hand written on the card.

I guess everyone has their 'one kid' that they struggle with (and it seems like for almost everyone it's the second kid - coincidence??). Mine is Noah. But I'm hoping that the fact that we struggle together now when he's little will mean that we'll be that much closer when he's older (fingers crossed).

As far as forgetting her name. I think it's funny because I can totally see how that could happen. She's little, she won't know and when she's older just tell her that it was such a special year for her that you WANTED to handwrite her name so that she stood out!!

Aww, glad you figured out how to put her name on the card. I bet she understands. I am sure it's a way cute card anyway. You were trying to make the card fit and didn't do it on purpose. Love ya girl!
