One of my favorite conversations from Christmas while unwrapping presents...

Hal: (inspecting each wrapped gift before giving it to me) I put codes on all your presents so I would know what they are.

Jenn: (smiling) Of course you did.

Hal: But now I can't remember what the codes mean.

Jenn: Of course you can't.


None of it mattered once I opened one of the best gifts ever - a label maker!! To say I was excited is an understatement. How Hal knew that I wanted this especially when I hadn't asked for it is purely and wonderfully fortuitous. And later my mom gave me a cutting board with a built-in colander. Christmas couldn't have been better!
