Brothers

I took the boys shopping at Barnes & Noble and told them to pick out a book that the other one would like. This took a few tries (they kept picking their own favorites, of course!) But they finally got it just right and we came home and promised to keep the books a secret. Well, once hidden, they were completely forgotten. Just before Christmas, we wrapped them and put them under the tree. I told them we would open them on Christmas Eve. I guess I should have specified Christmas Eve night because they woke up that day and ran to the tree to open those gifts! It was so sweet to see their happy, surprised faces and this unstaged brotherly love hug.
