We go to Dedi's house every year for the "McCann" side celebration. Her and Tom always serve their infamous gumbo, with lots of side goodies, and we have a great time!
This year the boys got their own gifts to give to their beloved Dedi. Ashton, our garage sale king, was so proud of the "finds" he scored for her: lighthouse salt and pepper shakers for the beach condo. Ethan hand made her a Valentine's Day wreath that says "Love Lives Here" out of styrofoam, just like my wooden wreaths I make.
For the past two years, Dedi has given the kids "outings" they can do together instead of a toy gift. Last year Ashton went to the Monster Jam and Ethan scored Florida Gator bowl tickets. This year, my mom joined in on the gift and got both our boys tickets (and a weekend away with them) to Florida State's Homecoming game! Of course Ashton was over the moon....Ethan, not so much. Bless his heart. He tried to hold it together, but he really was a bit confused why this Gator loving sports fan got tickets to a Florida State game. LOL.
They even got him a shirt made that says, "I'm a Gator fan all year, but I'm a Seminole Today!" I know he was a bit taken back by the gift, but he is going to LOVE being up there for the weekend in Tallahassee with some of his favorite people, amid all the excitement of game day, the Homecoming Parade, the cool hotel room, etc. He'll have a ball!
