Shock and Awe.

Comments Off

I hope that you all had a great Christmas Day/Hanukkah/Chanukah/Kwanzaa/Festivus/Thursday.  I hope that you found yourself surrounded by those closest to you.   (Or if you actually celebrate Festivus, I hope that you aired all your grievances and rocked the whole Feats of Strength thing).

As for myself, I was fortunate enough to witness what I can only call shock and awe spill out of my Son when he opened something he has been asking for for two years.  It was the only thing he really wanted for Christmas.

I might have led him to believe he wasn’t going to be getting the DS this year.

He was so happy and genuinely grateful that he had tears in his eyes.  That’s my Boy.  He remembered to thank everyone for everything that he received without prompting.  He was even more excited to pass out the presents he purchased and watch his family members open them.  It was a cool thing to watch and I was extremely proud of him.

The little Princess was not so well behaved.  I can only blame it on the fact that she didn’t get enough sleep, and was hopped up on sugar for three days straight (courtesy of three different sets of grandparents).  Oh, and she’s three.  Certainly not because I might give in to her demands a little too often.

I’m working on that.

She sure is cute in those pj’s, though.
