This past year has gone by fast! Last holiday friends of ours got Abigail a wooden kitchen (a one piece) with a stove, stink and cupboards. Not knowingly that my wife had gotten her a plastic set of dishes, food and condiments. So it was a big treat for her having a complete kitchen. This year was a quiet one with just our family of three exchanging gifts between my wife and I and getting gifts for Abigail.
This year has been busy for us all. My wife being a Home Executive, Home Teacher and a Wonderful, loving Wife (she is Superwoman with power within (h.s.))! My wife is part of a Mom's group that had a holiday party for the children and she asked if I could be Santa for the party, I had responded with a yes! She ordered a suit for me, so the day we got it, I tried it on with some extra pillow's. We decided the day of the party that I wouldn't wear my eyeglasses so Abigail wouldn't recognize me. Well the day came, I took the morning off from work to become St. Nicholas (which is my full name). Some of the kids were thrilled, but Abigail was being really shy, so I played along that way for the full hour I was there. She eventually came up, but didn't recognize me at all, even with my (ho, ho, ho)! Some of the mothers had me sit on a chair so the kids could sit on my lap and ask what they wanted and then take pictures.
So my payment for all that was the joy to give to the kids and be a great example for the kids!
