Yesterday, I pulled up to the house to spot a box from amazon. I waited till the kids got home because my Santa said something about my kids. I let them open the box and my son was happy to spot a new stuffed puppy. I had to talk him into letting me take a picture of it because he would not put it down. My daughter was equality exited to find a craft book and that she can make her own story books. She’s excited to be her own author and illustrator.

I knew there was something else coming via "snail mail" so I waited to post till I got that. My wife called me when I was at work to let me know I had a letter. I ran home on my lunch, her and I opened the letter. It is a very thoughtful letter about all the issues, I'm sure all of us have faced when picking out a gift for our giftie.

As we are reading we are noticing where this was going (we did not look at the other pages) Noodlethecat got my wife and I tickets to see the Bengals vs Ratbirds play on Jan 3rd! Now, one thing Noodles owner does not know is that its actuality my wife and I's wedding anniversary!!! I was going to work (just got the day off) and play it by ear but now we have plans! Woo Hoo! We wanted to buy each other tickets but well its Christmas time and the last thing we normally do is think about our anniversary. This means more then what I will post here but WE cannot wait to go!

I don’t make promises very much but I promise that we will all watch Elf and sing and eat sugary goodies!

Noodlethecat Thank you so much!
