We had a great Christmas Day, and hope you did too!

Deciding how to give the computer to Josh was difficult for us. We knew if we wrapped it he would know immediately by the size of the box. If we wrapped each part individually, he would know as soon as he opened one box. Our final decision at 3am was to have him wait in his room and we would plug it all in and get it powered up...then he could come out and we'd be able to see his reaction.

When he came in the living room, he was thrilled and shocked . He was so happy...and, as parents, we were thrilled that we managed not only to get him what he really, really wanted but were also able to keep it a secret from him...can I tell you how hard that was!

We spent the afternoon at my parent's house with other family members, ate a ~fantastic~ meal and exchanged gifts.
