Same to you! It's going to be a lot of fun for you, even if a bit chaotic, with a 4-year-old around. :) Has your older son reached the age where he's a bit more reserved about it?
He's been quite impressive this Christmas. He has his own bank account now, he gets a stipend from the University of Arkansas from the Upward Bound academic program he's in. Together with that, and the odd jobs my parents pay him to do around their house, he's built himself up a nice bank account for a 15 year old. What I was more surprised about was that he insisted on doing some Christmas shopping for all of us and his grandparents. He wouldn't take no for an answer on that..lol

As far as the crazy toddler goes, he's already just about to go crazy wanting to open presents and he has a BUNCH of them...lol. I bought Daniel hard copies of Dr. Sleep and The Institute. He's been reading a lot of SK books and just finished The Shining so I'm glad to see him enjoying SK books. My job as a father is now complete..hehehehe.

Enjoy the craziness of the 4 year old. Best memories for you. Wow- so proud of Daniel. Impressive for a 15 year old. Be a proud dad! And yes, to him becoming a Constant Reader!!
