The Greatest Gift
We opened our Christmas presents this weekend rather than lugging them 4000 miles to unwrap and then haul back. Because I don't know about your firstborn, but ours got a lot of crap. There were six gifts total under the tree for anyone who was not Avery, and two of them were for our dogs.1
This being her first experience opening gifts, she wasn't quite sure what we were getting at. "Wait a minute," she seemed to be saying. "You're giving me a package wrapped in paper ... and you want me to tear it? Don't you remember what happened last time?"
Eventually we got everything unwrapped, removed from overzealous consumer packaging, and prepared for play. But, just as we were warned, the toys she recieved weren't the items Avery was most excited for.
Truly, it's the little things.
1. Sed and I eschewed gifts for each other this year, deciding to just fill our stockings instead.

that's so funny.
now I hate to compare to my cat of all things, but it'd oddly familiar, I bought her these new toys and all she cared about was the wrapping paper and tissue paper.
to be so carefree :)
