I love Christmas. From the making and receiving of Christmas cards, to the shopping, the baking, the magic of it all. I love it.
This year we were given the opportunity to really highlight the meaning of Christmas. Our friends Ben and Karin were here for a few days before Christmas and it was so special to be with them that upon their departure, I felt as if the 'event' I had been preparing for was over (and I was completely satisfied). I had to really gear up today to realize that there is another entire 'event' tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be magical watching the kids experience the magic but really all I want for Christmas is quality time with the friends and family that mean so much to us.
Oli wanted one and only one thing this year from Christmas -- a leopard gecko (at his mom's house, he wanted deodorant....wish we had gotten off that easy). Well, the story goes, we said no and then we realized that maybe it wasn't such a bad idea. Plus we have a family connection to geckos'...my sister's fiance breeds them. So, we were counting on him being pretty surprised that we went ahead and got him a new pet.
To have a little fun with Oli, we told him it was just the cage, not the actual gecko. This video is Brett revealing the fact that the gecko was already in there. There were no gecko's harmed in the making of this video.
