The kids had slightly longer (though, admittedly, less expensive) wish lists. Christmas morning, Kaitlyn was delighted to open her new Barbie color and dye hair salon and Tinker Bell movie, though after a few short hours, the fervor died down. Claire, who repeatedly asked for the super-scary "robot monkey" was rather unimpressed with the actual product. She gave it a glance, smacked its cymbals together, and announced that she preferred it quiet and without batteries. Really?! Okay, fine.
The big winner was Santa's super-secret surprise--LeapPads! Yes, I went head-to-head with my fellow Santa's helpers this year, and after much angst and disappointment, I scored two of the elusive tablets. May I never, ever have to shop for the toy of the year again.
Jack, the little dear, was content with his Chemistry blocks, train book, and truck. Oh, and the two dozen other gifts he opened from adoring grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins!
