The Spirit of the Season

Today the kids had their cousin Kiki* over to play. She stayed to have dinner with us and during dinner I was telling her there was a present under the tree with her name on it. That of course started the conversation about when the kids can open presents and what they've asked for from Santa. With three kids and two adults around the table that become a very involved and loud conversation. Out of the craziness Hannah spoke up:

Hannah: You know, it's not the presents that you get. It's about family.

Kiki: (sputtering) Oh...oh....oh please! You got that from a book!

*Kayla is her real name but when Jake was a baby he could only call her Kiki and it stuck. Considering she's a tomboy to the extreme it's pretty hilarious to call her Kiki....or Keeks.
