Christmas shopping

I'm done, but Son got to do his shopping yesterday at Santa's Workshop. Every year the school's PTO puts that together for the students. Nothing is more than $5, so the kids can get stuff for their families and feel good about it.

Son got off the bus yesterday with a big shopping bag and he was just beaming with pride. All the way up the driveway he told me what he got for each person on his list, and then he said "Mom! I want to give you what I bought for you! Do you wanna see it?"

I told him no, that I wanted to be surprised on Christmas morning! And he was fine with this, as once we got in the house he unpacked his shopping bag and detailed everything he'd gotten for his grandparents. He picked out a mug for Grampa Joe (my step-dad). I said "Oh, he'll love that! He can use that for his coffee!"

I love this. I love how excited and proud he gets.
