Lincoln's Birthday Basket

The Lincoln Classic is fast approaching! If you haven’t signed up, you have until this weekend. So hurry up!

Attendees can participate in golf+dinner ($100), or dinner only ($30). Let me know if you want to sign up!

Along with dinner, there are also awesome raffle baskets. Last year John and I decided we wanted to choose “Lincoln’s Birthday Basket” as one of the raffle items. With Lincoln’s birthday coming up it was nice to have a reason to pick something he would have liked for his birthday and use it for a good cause. This year we did the same thing.

So what do we think 3-year-old Lincoln would like for his birthday? We recently moved in to a new house that needed some work and John has been working his butt off fixing it up. If Lincoln were getting ready to turn three he’d be watching dad hard at work, using lots of tools. And we think he’d love this fun tool bench:

We're so excited for someone to win it at the Lincoln Classic! It just arrived today and it looks awesome.

I'll be honest - I cried picking it out. I also cried at the store ordering it. Which turned out ok I guess because Toys R Us ended up donating half of the cost. Thank you, Toys R Us! And then I cried when it arrived today. This one wasn't easy or pretty. But absolutely worth it to be able to do something to remember our peanut Lincoln. We love you, Lincoln!
