Christmas Miracles
Turns out, it doesn't take much.
Miracle #1: I took the BEST photo of the kids for our X-mas card. I don't know how it happened. Normally, it's impossible to get them to look in the same direction at the same time (much less at the camera). One of them usually has red eyes. One of them refuses to smile. But...I dunno. This year, I didn't make a huge deal out of it (other than going out special to buy my daughter the perfect plaid flannel nightgown...I blew out her hair and sat on her to get the headband in right). Anyway, they crawled under the tree and were PERFECT!!!!!!! I sent out a dozen more cards than I usually do.
Miracle #2: Ok, this one's not so much a miracle as it is the cutest story ever!!! My son had his Santa Shop at school. I sent him with $20 so he could buy gifts for all of us. Dad got a fat pencil that says "Superdad." (He got the matching fat pen last year.) I got a pink heart necklace and matching earrings. His sister got a pink choker inside a pink flip-flop case. The sweetest part was he whispered to me when she was opening it. "Mom, I looked and looked for horses, but they didn't have anything with horses for her." He's the sweetest boy ever. His sister is a horse freak. I cried.
Of course, being who she is, two seconds later, she opened up the flip-flop and asked "How come there's no horse?"
