Today was one of those really special days, the ones you never really forget. It is good to remember days like today, because they are great memories.

My immediate family celebrated Christmas a bit early because my mom and brother are going up to Canada to visit my grandparents for Christmas. This celebration was really just a great excuse for everyone to get my son gifts, he is so spoiled :). Every gift he opened brought a new light to his eyes, each new gadget and toy brought possibility of intrigue and hours of fun. I don't think I will ever forget the smile on his face when he opened those silly teenage mutant ninja turtle sunglasses and his uncle put them on for him - such a big cheesy grin as he looked around the room.

It really is amazing to be on the flip side of Christmas now as the parent giving to the child. I have come to the point where I would rather sit back and watch the joy my children get when they open those gifts. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy the occasional gift of a DVD or a Wii, but I really truly want to give my son everything. Perhaps I am just sappy.
