But it's such fun watching them get so excited! Sometimes I think maybe I'm more excited to watch them than they are to open presents.<br />I want to go outside and get freezing (Brrrrrrr) pictures so bad but I'm such a wuz I can't bring myself to go out and freeze my bumper off to do it. So I must enjoy yours and every one elses until I get my nerve/temperature up.<br />I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and hope for a great new year for all of you. It's been so fantastic getting to know you through blogging this last 10 months or so.RainGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071017261791897927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-83927262599680956512009-12-27T10:41:03.451-05:002009-12-27T10:41:03.451-05:00Grace; we get exactly what we want that way and it...Grace; we get exactly what we want that way and it is fun.
