I have to drop/hide certain things home before the kids come home from school. This morning there was a pkg that sat outside the front door overnite and my youngest found it this morn and brought it in and said "oh, it must be the cards" (holiday cards). Fortunately one still believes in Santa. The gift wrapping/dots is very pretty and that dining room is stunning.A room with a viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03223202837487135747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423793337615982912.post-53638150032892428942011-12-15T14:34:29.260-08:002011-12-15T14:34:29.260-08:00I was a sneaky little thing too, so I'm doomed...I was a sneaky little thing too, so I'm doomed.

I've already had to tell the hubs what he's getting for Christmas and I made him confess that he was trying to arrange a surprise get together for my bday this weekend. Now, I find my kiddos snooping around in my closet or stealthily trying to pry back corners of wrapped presents. They do not have the gift of stealth and secrecy yet.Suzy www.savedbysuzy.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04567515183153770968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423793337615982912.post-53161335566621064962011-12-14T18:45:06.561-08:002011-12-14T18:45:06.561-08:00So snooping was exactly the way my little brother ...So snooping was exactly the way my little brother learned there wasn't a Santa Claus. He and I were in my parent's closet one day when we stumbled upon all our "hidden" christmas gifts. He was thrilled when he saw he would be getting the mega transformer, Optimus Prime that year from my parents. But then Christmas morning came, and he noticed the tag on Optimus Prime was from "Santa" (not from Mom and Dad).
