I love it when I actually manage to surprise people with the gift they recieve, especially my kids. This year the hubby and I managed to surprise each of them with something they were convinced that they wouldn't be recieving because of the cost. Stitch was so stunned he even cried. That's right, my 13 year old boy cried for happiness and shock. I have pictures to prove it!! (but I promised not to make them public :)) The trash pile was smaller this year than some in the past (we went for quality rather than quantity), but that didn't matter. It was a wonderful day!
Here are my adorable children in their Christmas pjs.
(They're such hams in front of the camera - always have been!)
(Number One, me, father-in-law, hubby, mother-in-law,
sister-in-law, The Girlie, Stitch, Shasta)
The mess after opening.
Picture's not the greatest because of the sun coming through a high window, but man it was fun to watch my hubby push the button on the camera and then run down the stairs (several times) and jump over the trash pile to get in the picture.
Me and my brother David.
We don't always get to see him at Christmas...and for awhile we weren't sure it would happen this year. I am very grateful to my wonderful mother-in-law and sister-in-law who gave him a ride over with them so that he could be here.
Mom and David.
He is always so happy to be with her.
