This is the first year Hannah understood that all those fancy packages wrapped in colorful paper and bright ribbons (unless you live at Sheri's house -- hee hee) might be for her to unwrap. When she received her first present this holiday season, she eagerly ripped off the wrapping paper to expose a plain brown box. I don't remember now what was inside the box. She looked at me with bright eyes and a huge smile and said, "Yook Mom! A box!!"
Of all the presents I received this Christmas season, that was my favorite: a daughter satisfied, even excited, to have the pleasure of unwrapping a gift and receiving a plain, brown box.
