Santa Claus did indeed pay a visit to our house this year. Now just to set the record straight :-) our kids do know why we have Christmas. They will all (with the exception of Ashley for obvious reasons) tell you that Christmas is about Jesus; however, we do like to have fun and we play the Santa Claus "game" if you will. :-) Normally, I like to wrap everything. The other kids were a couple of months old and I had to wrap their gifts even though I already knew what was in them. This year Christmas time has been a little hectic (as has been the last few months) so I cheated. Ashley's gifts got put in one gift bag together and the big one sat under the tree--no tissue, no bows. The older kids all got pillows, again no wrappings at all. I even did the unthinkable--"Hetrick Wrap". What is Hetrick Wrap? Plastic bags. Hey, it was very late Christmas Eve and I was very tired. I did actually wrap one or two for each of the kids and the in-laws. This is totally out of character for me when it comes to Christmas so I think that I can be excused this time. :-)

I LOVE it -- the Hetrick wrap and the Gephardt wrap are pretty much the same! You know my folks never wrapped the gifts for us kids. In fact they were all piled in separate piles in the living room and we would look at the piles and figure out whose was whose! Mom and Dad helped if need be but usually there was something pretty telling in the stack!
