Kid Scoop
Double Christmas Duty
On one of our first dates, Cody insisted on getting a half dozen toy cars and wrapping each one individually for his only nephew. While the multipack of cars seemed like a better idea, Cody insisted that it isn’t so much about the toy, it’s about the act of unwrapping it. Four years ago Cody got Addie a 10 pack of ponies, took them out of the box and wrapped each one individually. I should also mention that the wrapping doesn’t end at our children, I had 36 individually wrapped candy bars in my stocking this year.

All I could have ever asked for.
