Worse Than Kids

I am pretty bad at Christmas!  If my name is on the gift I shake it.  I am a pretty good guesser too.  When I was little my mom had to start making secret codes on the gifts so I wouldn't know which ones were mine and guess them.  Then the fun was figuring out the code. 

Then I married Chris.  He gets so excited about the gifts he gets me he usually wants to give them to me early and then have to buy more.  This is not fun to me.  I like to bother you with my guessing.  I want it to be a challenge.  I don't want to easily win you over.  I really don't want to know. 

This year we have Lorelei.  Yay!  I am so excited to see her on Christmas!  She opens presents so well!  Two nights ago, I randomly said we all needed to open a present.  See... I am worse than a child!  Well, it wasn't hard to convince Chris.  He got to pick one of his presents...he opened a new pair of shoes!  He told me they made him run really fast!  I kept catching him doing little jumps!  See why I married him? 

I opened a new camera!  Remember my last post when I was wishing for one?  Wishes do come true!  And better yet, it is pink!!!

And Lorelei?  She got some water flutes.  She couldn't quite figure out how to blow on them so she just held them up to her mouth and sang for the sound!
