we definitely wanted to celebrate, we just needed the space to make it our own. we were clear that we did not want to just do it without thought or follow another agenda or feel like we "should."
for the most part, i was always in charge of shopping for morgan and sara, and i think it was (and is) very appreciated. wrapping the gifts was easy. signing my name alone on the gift tags was not.
every now and then, glenn would come home with a random daddy present. cleaning out drawers and closets this summer, i found 2 in my "hidden gift cupboard." tonight i gave Morgan her engraved "Morgan Cooper" silver pen (I think that was an American Express special), and for Sara, he picked a cute little panda iPhone (not really sure how to describe this) plug thing. all from daddy. they giggled, and were touched by these last presents from him.
so, all said and done, we had a very nice hanukkah. we did it out way. with sushi and eggnog (for me) and pinkberry for dessert, we made this holiday ours this year. they loved their PJs, and books, and new workout gear, massages, iTunes, jewelry and some more. they bought me the new Giada cookbook (yay!). and, i bought myself a massage gift certificate too.
