I got a card a few days ago letting me know that my secret Santa(s) (her and her son) may be running a bit late, but they "couldn't wait to send you and your family the gifts we have picked out." I did mention that gifts that involve my 4 year old son are important to me, but I was just so pleased they thought to incorporate him.

Then the gifts came to my office, beautifully wrapped. They're ready for the tree, so it seems wrong to open them now. And, besides, I intend on opening them with my son, since my Santas clearly indicated they had him in mind. If the return gift receipts (and the extensive probing I've done to the packages) are any indication, they NAILED this one big time. As of right now, we're going to wait until Christmas to open them unless a) I'm explicitly asked by our Santas to do otherwise or b) the excitement is too much for me. I can not wait to see my boy's eyes light up when we open these gifts. And you can be sure I'll share those pics here when I take them.

The treats, on the other hand, will likely be gone by morning. The rice crispie treats taste awesome and are adorable. The M&M snack mix is delightful. I'm just overwhelmed by how thoughtful and awesome my secret Santas are.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

UPDATE:

It's Christmas, so we finally opened the gifts. I was right, my SS was SPOT ON! Not sure where she got the idea that my son might like a Toy Story book but, HOLY SMOKES did she nail that. He loves Toy Story - we did a TS themed birthday, we've watched the movies a million times... Good stalking!

But the creme is the Legos. Not only are they LEgos, they;re Star Wars Legos. And they're the best kind - Sith Legos! This is the first year we've really been able to do Legos as a gift for the kid, and these were the first he received. I can not tell you how excited he is and how excited I am to get playing with them.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!
