The excitement of Christmas

I LOVE these faces! Not just how excited they are but for what. They are so easy to please and it makes gift giving so fun. I hope we don't become too materialized that these excited faces only show for expensive or electronic gifts. I have to admit that sometimes Stan wonders if what I bought will suffice. Then he sees these faces and his confidence grows.... I guess I know my kids better than I think sometimes.
We also bought them a candy machine. We are going to help them start a business. Stan has been too busy and we haven't found a place to put it yet, but it will happen and they are going to learn in real ways how to manage money so they'll be prepared for real life when they leave home.
