Next the kids sent Mark and Betsy on a scavenger hunt to find the combined presents… We went upstairs and downstairs then back upstairs and downstairs. This repeated a few times before we found the present behind the sectional in the basement.
When they opened the present they found wonderous surprise. The kids had gone in together to get us a movie theater gift card ($35), and an Olive Garden gift card for a date out together. What a nice treat. Daddy also got pistachios from Robert, BYU basketball shorts from Jessica, and ? from Marissa. Mommy got a beautiful charm bracelet from Jessica & Devon from Things Remembered, and a necklace and earrings from Marissa and ? from Robert. Daddy also got a "BYU Basketball" DVD from Uncle Alan.

It was truly a magical Christmas. Daddy surprised mommy with a gift hidden on the tree. It was a certificate to a Night at the Historic Brown Hotel - downtown Louisville with complimentary dinner at the Spaghetti Factory and a night out on the town. She was shocked and so happily surprised!
Mommy got daddy tons of clothes (he needed them): he received jeans, khaki pants, a sweater, a sweater vest, socks and a active coat and a black wool coat. The family also got a new dart board set, but we are nervous to put it up …
