WARNING!--We are blessed or spoiled, whatever you want to call it. :)

Christmas is over and I am happy because we I suck at being Santa. Here is how we've messed up in the past...

Left the Christmas budget up on the computer for first grader to look at, when Santa came she knew it was us.
Then I had Easter baskets ready to hide and they were in plain sight in my bedroom before a trip. I asked my first grader to get me something out of my bedroom at that moment. If she had any hope about the Easter bunny, I ruined it right then and there. We had a heart to heart and she joined the ~~lying~~ keep the story going for your sister team.

This year we royally screwed up we........

Were ahead of the game wrapping stuff up ahead of time, only there was no forethought about what wrapping paper was from Santa and what was from us.
The pink 4+ legos got slapped with a J tag (they were supposed to be for M) and neither one wanted the primary colored legos for 2-5.
We messed up the stockings. I mean royally messed up. I couldn't remember whose was whose so all of J's stuff went in M's and vice versa. All J wanted from Santa was a stuffed monkey. Well M got it instead. M also got princess socks and J got a UNI stocking hat. They seemed thrilled (except for the princess socks) so we let it go....

But all in all Christmas was a hit despite our mess-ups and so far the 3 year old still believes. It is only a matter of time before she is smarter than us.

Some other highlights include....

J opened up her KindleFire first and M said "no fair!" (Yes they both got Kindle Fires. I warned you!)
Hubby had me so off track on my gift I was super surprised to open Keurig cups. (Yay!) J was even in on the decoy. "Here's your bracelet mom."

Here are pictures from the season.....
