Just when you think your kids are only out for the presents at Christmas time....Every year, the elementary school has vendors come in to sell their little gifts and trinkets to the school kids. It's an opportunity for the kids to shop for their families, teachers and friends. And, because I am all for opening gifts early, I let the kids open their stuff to and from each other today - like I had a choice. These guys were so excited to give each other their gifts. Yes, give, not receive. Max got Al a pretty necklace and Jay a homemade marshmallow shooter. Jay got Al a "make-your-own candy necklace pack and Max a $2 radio with headphones. (It actually works!!) Al got Jay a bungie Brutus Buckeye and Max a OSU pen holder. Do you know what Jay spent most of his money on?
This is for baby Vivi :)I'm proud of my kiddos for loving to give. It makes it ok that they say Christmas is their favorite holiday because they get presents.

OMG, that post made me cry! Those kids are so-o-o-o-o sweet and so very enlightened. It sounds as if they selected perfect gifts for each other… and Vivi! That little babe (or gummy bear) has no idea how loved she will be.
And you have no idea how loved you all are!
I also teared up reading this. See? You've got good kids. All kids are excited about Christmas for the presents. Remember how greedy we were as kids?
Jay--such a sweetie. They will be really really good siblings to Viv.
