A Little Christmas Teasing...
What's Christmas without a little Christmas teasing?? Katie really wanted a Leapster this year...she's wanted it for at least 8 months or so now...she's played with her best friend's Leapster as often as she could! So, that was our plan for her "big gift" from Mommy and Daddy {and, of course, Austin had to have one, too...to alleviate any knock-down, drag-out fights}. And, that's what we did!
We also gave a few family members "ideas" of gifts that the kids would need to go with their Christmas surprise. What we didn't think about {at first} was that they would end up getting the accessories first...and then...their Leapsters! Once we realized it, we decided to sit back and see what happened {we're so cruel!} And, here's a little snippet of the fun...
Opening Accessory #1 at Mimi's house:
Mommy! I got something like my friend Elizabeth has!!
Really, that's great, Sweetheart!
Oh...That's funny, hehe {with little enthusiasm}...
What is it, Katie?
It's empty. Why didn't they put games in it like Elizabeth's? What do I do with it?
Well, I don't know, Sweetie. Look! You have another gift to open! {grins}
Opening Accessory #2 at Granny's house:
Look, Mom! I got a Ni-hao Kai-lan game for my thing I got at Mimi's house!!
That's cool, Katie!!
But, how do I play my new game now?
Well, Sweetie, you can't play it, because you don't have the Leapster for it.
Oh. O.K.
{Mommy's starting to feel a little bad about the Christmas teasing at this point...but it's so worth it to see her the next morning!}
Opening her Leapster on Christmas morning:
So, maybe a little Christmas teasing wasn't so bad, after all.
