[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 328313, member: 4264"] :) I am glad I shared this with all of you. Isn't it funny that the year we were to have the least, was the most relaxing one so far. We've been glowing with holiday spirit, knowing it was not about things, and all about being together. We've done the best things together. Daily batches of homemade baking. Lots of messes but lots of laughing. TV is barely on, same with computers and video games. I dont' remember this much time spent together all of us in ages. We have played endless rounds of board games, went through a entire can of hot chocolate. It's been wonderful and I'm proud of my kids that they are having their happiest year in the time that is the leanest they've ever known. To be able to shock them in a few days is thrilling :). They truly are the best kids and each has alot to be proud of. Im extra thrilled for my Matty Bear. Matt has come so far. And he never complains about not having things other teens have. He is so understanding. He's always thankful for anything he recieves. easy child has her dad and step mom to go see during Christmas and they are very sucessful and well off. She will have a very large Christmas there. difficult child on the other hand, its whatever I can do for him. Even knowing that his sister is spoiled to the n'th degree at her dads (not a spoiled attitude though thank goodness), he is always just happy for her, not jealous as one would expect and even understand. His present is so small under the tree. He badly wanted it and is excited just for that and the pj's he always gets. I can't wait to see him when he comes out and there are a pile of suprises waiting for him. He will really be stunned :) The prospect makes me nearly giddy lol.
