Double Sniff
So here it is, Christmas, and I have to tell you what my daughter gave me today.
She was given some money to go to the Santa shop at school and pick out something for me, Alex, her dad, and Jared. Therefore, I thought the plaque she got me (World's Sharpest Teacher) and the ceramic container of candy was it. Then she hands me this awkwardly wrapped box (she did it herself).
Here's the background:
My master's is in medieval and renaissance lit. Ariana knows that I love that era to death. She has a very detailed, gorgeous looking medieval barbie. It was in a box originally, and her dad let her pull it out of the box when I moved out...thereby ruining its collector status value, but my daughter wanted to see it and play with it. She has a ton of barbies, but I guess the lure of a new barbie was too much. She loves this barbie.
My eight year old daughter wrapped up her barbie to give to me for Christmas. Yes, she loves this doll. She thinks it is gorgeous. But she decided her mommy would like it more since it's a medieval barbie...
My mom's eyes went wide and she started to cry when she saw what my daughter had done. I really believe my eight-year-old is the most giving and kind little girl anywhere.
I can't describe how much it meant to me. There's the true meaning of Christmas right there...and my daughter "got" it. I'm truly the luckiest mom in the world!

That's so great! I love your kids.
Instead of having my own kids, I would like to order two of what you got.
Merry merry darling. And kissed to BOTH of your children. Plus a huge smackeroo to your cute Frenchie. ;)
Defintiely *sniff* worthy! Glad you had a great xmas and I hope you have a great holiday season as well.
Is that the "Black Death" Barbie with the posies and the plague rat, or the Buxom Saxon Peasant Wench Barbie, with the attachable "great with child" belly and Official Catholic Church Condemnation? That first one is pretty rare.
so aweomse! seriously brought a tear to my eye.
