Talking Big surprises ***PICTURES***

This is how it's going down, A (who is 10) is thinking 1 more sleep till the pony gets here . S (17) is 1 000 000% happy for her sister.

I had my chit chat with mom yesterday and told her what I was doing and would not take no for an answer. S has been a wonderful addition to my farm and a complete perfect roll model for Kenya. I told her that in my heart this was the right thing to do for this young lady. Mom cried and was speachless. S is also the most selfless person I have ever met. Mom had 1 000 000% put her foot down and was NOT getting A this pony as it just wasn't fair that S, who has been riding and giving herself to horses for 7 yrs, to have to sit on the back burner and watch as her sister gets a pony first. Well little miss S sat her down and ARGUED that she WANTED A to get the pony and that Shadow is still here and wasn't going anywhere. She even got her dad on her side and BOTH argued with her for quite some time and finally convinced mom to buy the pony first eventhough she feel totally guilty about it.

How many kids would do that?? Put their feelings aside and let another live their dream. I feel so good right now and can't wait for tonight.

I will be picking up my kids at 530 and then call them so A can come over to play with Kenya and when she get's here her pony will be waiting in the barn for her. Since S will be so consumed with her little sister she'll NEVER suspect HER surprise . It's not quite confirmed as to how it'll go down but I was thinking that as she's farting around with her sister I'll offer to go get her horse, slip a bow on him too and give her a card with the ownership transfer and a thank you for being such a good kid.

I highly doubt there will be a dry eye in my barn today.

PLEASE pray that my new batteries work in the flippin camera. You have no idea just how pi**ed I'll be if they don't

You are such an amazing, generous and kind hearted person. S is going to be beside herself. Nope, no dry eyes in your barn today. You will have made one lucky little lady extremely ecstatic.

I think I have followed this correct.

A. You are delivering a bought pony for the youngest sister.

B. You are giving oldest sister your horse.

C. Neither one knows about it?

Is this right?

If so...that is just wonderful!!!!
