Oh, I love this. Annie, you must tell your kids you love them often... Those three little words aren't said enough these days, and though my kids are much younger than yours (6 and 4)they already say it to each other (and me!) randomly, and with no ulterior motives. I can't wait to see their bond grow tighter in years to come! Thanks for this post. Singleworkingmama´s last blog post...Santa Brought More to Dad’s House

What a nice story. So many thoughts came to mind, including how others see our children, how we see them and how much we’d do for them…I’m sitting here after having played Santa as a single parent again this year; after my daughter is finally asleep, I have to sneak downstairs and put out the presents that are supposed to be from Santa AND make it appear as if he’s consumed the milk and cookies she left him. I am exhausted! (Mainly because she wanted only one gift from him; a “Princess Kitchen,” but it weighs a ton!)

I haven’t experienced taking her shopping to buy me a present yet. She’s only 4 so my mom helps her with gifts for me…she’s an only child so it will be interesting to see how our holidays evolve as she gets older. But thanks for sharing this!
