Gifts and Gratitude

We did Christmas this weekend with our kids and I learned one thing...I love watching my kids open gifts. There's one thing that really frustrates me about gift receiving...a weak reception. I don't know why but it has always rubbed me the wrong way when someone opens a gift and looks like they couldn't care less. This is not the case with my kids. They scream. They dance. They don't stop celebrating. It makes me want to buy them more gifts. I love to give gifts. Especially when they are overwhelmingly received. Anything High School Musical 2 for Rylie and anything Cars for Tyler and it's a home run. They are fun to watch. I'm grateful that even at this stage of life they seemed to have learned about gratitude. God loves gratitude. So do I.
