FYI - I'm not doing the gift exchange. Everyone's getting a scarf that will be crocheted by me. I do have your Christmas/Birthday present already. Sorry to give you the SHAFT! =P okay so i sound harsh, but it really is all of our faults. at least i’m not extravagant with the gifts (the exception being katleya’s birthday). we DO cater to them, partially because we were deprived of that “enjoyment” when we were younger.
