Interview With a....

.....daughter.

Last week over some tea I told E I was going to interview her. I have a journal that I keep for each of the kids. I have written their birth stories, how den and I met, and different things about their lives, etc. BUT I'm so sporadic. I was looking through them and realized that it had been nearly a year since I had touched them. So my new goal is to at least write in them on their birthdays, and every couple of years do an interview. The questions were off the top of my head but it was fun to see how she interpreted them. I also look forward to seeing how their answers change over the years. I plan on pinning J down soon to ask him the same questions.

Then she decided that I should ask her what she wanted for Christmas...

E: "Now there's a lot of things that I want to get for Christmas"
Me: "Just pick a couple of things"
E: "A camera, a snuggie, and my own TV."

Some of her answers surprised me, and some I knew were the answers for this week or month, such as the book or movie answers. Still it was fun to hear her thoughts on these light topics and maybe next time I'll get a bit deeper.

Stay tuned for J's interview.
