Leslie and Kimberly–

I have one of each and it is truly amazing how different boys and girls are.

When I went away to college, my dad mailed me a computer disc. On it was a layout of our house, complete with furniture. I had to click through the house until I found the egg icon, and my mom had mailed me a chocolate egg in the same box. I got to participate in the egg hunt even though I wasn't home anymore! That was a particularly special year. Such wonderful baskets!

Nevertheless, they still had fun. Loved this post. I’m sure the girls stopped believing long before I realized it. Nevertheless, they still had fun.

When I was growing up, my mother hated anything holiday, so if I wanted decorations, I did it myself. When I was 12, she started putting my presents in plain boxes and said if I wanted them wrapped I could do it myself too. Birthdays were the same. I found out about Santa when I was 7, and all the others came crashing down right after. I think that has something to do with my general holiday malaise that unfortunatly, I am passing on to my children. I love seeing the beautiful traditions you are passing on to your girls, and I can't help wishing I had done the same. Diva Girl and Zen Baby are very lucky, indeed.

I won't let them have them until the hubby wakes up, so the boys are going back and forth between sitting on the floor staring at the baskets, and trying to wake daddy up.
