I love the reaction that we get when Haley sees all of the presents under the tree. I know that she knows that they are not all for her, but it is still exciting for her to see so many.
She was pretty patient while we opened presents this year. She really didn't want to give anyone their presents though. She would pick up a present and look at the tag. If she recognized her name that was good. If she didn't she would hand it to me or her sister with a questioning look on her face. We would tell her who it was for and ask her to hand it to them and she would just grunt.
After having screwed up the present I was most excited about I did find a few good presents to give her.
I was kind of excited about giving her one of them.
When my Mom was here we went to Craft Warehouse. I was telling her how I didn't really know what to get Haley. I wanted to get her something that she would really be excited about. Just then my Mom looked down and saw just the thing. It was a print of the Daylight in the snow. It was perfect. I found a black frame for it. I thought it would be a great addition to her room. Her room is mostly decorated in horses, but I think we are about to transition it to trains.
I saved the framed print for her next to the last present.
She had gotten a Cars 2 book, a coloring book, a John Deere tractor and truck from G and G and some money from both sets of Grandparents. My Mom had found a card with the Daylight on it that Haley really liked too. Then I handed her the print.
She did not disappoint.
She ripped the paper off and squealed.
It is so fun to give a gift that someone really likes. There was no mistaking that she loved it.
It now hangs in a place of honor in her room.
