Essington Family Wish Lists

 
 
~ Family & friends often ask for gift ideas, so we thought we'd keep a "wish list" on this page!  We'll try to keep it as current as we possibly can.  We'll also include each child's clothing and shoe size.  Please keep in mind that the Essington family has been very blessed over the years with many gifts (both material and non-material).  So an overload on material gifts is truly not necessary :) ~
