Best Gift you EVER got for your kids?

[Eeyore'sthebest]

When DD was 11 I used all my Best Buy bonus points and got her an Ipod Nano, she had no clue and was stunned. Up until last week I'd say she would consider that her favorite surprise. However her Godfather took her to see Forever the Sickest Kids, something her Dad and I just couldn't bring ourselves to do. (hey, we've hit that "What is this crap your listening to" stage of our lives.) She was over the moon! It was quite entertaining for me too getting random texts from him: "I'm in hell," "OMG it get's worse," "HELP ME!!!" He never let on to her though and he's her hero.

OMG, that is so funny!!! What a fabulous Godfather!!


And for my addition to the thread, we are getting DD a horse this year for Christmas. I can't wait for her reaction!! She just thinks that this is a new rescue horse at the barn. Little does she know that she's been pampering her own horse.

Last year, there was a huge rabbit rescue project near our house and we decided to foster two of the baby bunnies until homes could be found for them. We weren't planning to keep them because we already had two rabbits in the house.

Of course, the bunnies had other ideas and proceeded to hop right into our hearts! We kept telling our boys that we weren't going to keep them but DH and I secretly decided we would. I sent in the adoption forms and the fee last year on December 1. Then we had to keep it a secret from the boys until Christmas.

On Christmas morning, they found the two bunnies in a carrier under the tree with a note that said, "Merry Christmas....We're keeping them!" Our then 11-year old cried and said it was the best present he ever received. Our then 14-year old was more analytical about it. "Wait, how long have you been keeping this a secret from us? Are you sure we can keep them?"

Right now, the little dudes are staring up at me from their cage. So adorable!
