We had a great day. We had Sean's dad and his girlfriend over today. Michael got one of the things he had asked Santa and this was the exchange:
- Michael "Cool! I get two!"
- Mommy "Are you sure?"
- Michael "Yeah, I asked him for it and now I'll get two!"
- Grampa "Well Michael, the thing is Santa called and he couldn't find it and asked if I could."
- Michael "Cool! I get one!"
He also got something called a "Tommy 20". We have all now been attacked by this. It's pretty neat. The end of the foam darts have suction cups.
Noelle got a gift card to JC Penny to do "some serious shopping". I'm thinking we will wait until well after Christmas to go there.
Edna made both of the kids one of those tie blankets. They are huge and warm. I took a nap with Michael's on the couch and was super cozy.
Each Christmas Eve, we all get to open one gift. The kids each got Tooth Tunes, Sean got "Blazing Saddles" and I got the best gift of all!!!!
I opened my gift and it was a "Cat In The Hat" DVD box. I opened it up and inside there was a coupon that said "Coupon:I will build your flip-out drawer under the sink~Sean". I was so excited, not only is this something I've wanted for a long time, but it was on my list of "surprise me" things off the fridge. We go out to the kitchen and had the following conversation:
- Sean: "Do you want one with handles like the drawers or one that pulls down?"
- Me: "One that pulls down." (thinking this will never be installed, but smiling)
- Sean: "You don't want one with the handles?"
- Me: "No, I want one that pulls down."
- Sean: (pointing to a drawer handle) "So you don't want one with handles, but one that pulls down like this."
- Me: (screaming loudly with what little voice I have) "Oh my gosh!!!!!"
Sean said he has never seen a woman get so excited about storage space.
He said I'll like my present tomorrow even better. I can't imagine what could top that!
