So we did. One of the gifts was for Gar, a swiss army knife. Leif said that his brother got each one of the brothers including him one on their 15th birthday and Eric my oldest son also got one for his birthday. Aren't Christmas traditions special, even the littlest of things. By the way Gar promptly cut himself while trying to close down all of the blades that he had opened on the very well thought out knife. Oh well. The finger was a mess but the memory will be laughed about for many years to come, I am sure. I am glad you are feeling better from your head cold.Leslienoreply@blogger.com
