Did I get gifts I wanted? No. Did I get gifts from my children that were thoughtful and so much a part of them and how they relate to me? YES. So much yes. This year, especially, I found so many things that just made my heart warm and my pride in being their mom...just explode---I LOVE THESE KIDS!!
This. This made my heart sing. She is so talented with words and paint...if only she had the confidence in herself!
Michael's gift to me--he prided himself on getting something he thought I would love--and a Complete Set even! The fact that he remembered that I loved Fraggle Rock, that he remembered the various characters (well, he has a great memory for those things, so...that doesn't surprise me...)
But the REAL Gift from him...seeing him cuddle with a stuffed velociraptor I gave him.
Just seeing him happy and affectionate. It was the BEST.
And Snickers! (Bluey)
And more stuffies!
Dim Sum on Christmas Eve!
And they even gave us a gift card for next time!
Michael got this for Brad--the weird thing--I had this when I was a child!
And then--it was Hanukkah!
