This is the tree in the boys room. Joel has wrapped and placed presents for Colin and Norah under "his" tree. We took the kids to the store the other week and had them secretly pick out gifts for each other. It was fun to see how excited the boys were. Norah just kept picking up stuffed animals by the armful and yelling "mine" over and over. So she needs a few years before she understands the joy of giving but hopefully the boys are starting to get it. The other day Colin went grocery shopping with me and as we were walking out he proudly reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar to put in the salvation army red bucket. He had been carrying around this dollar for days in his pocket and it was so sweet to see him give his prized dollar away. And even greater to see his beaming face the whole way home.
