Like a Kid Again

Dan & I did it again. We coordinated our Christmas gifts without knowing it. Our first Christmas together, we got each other small framed Thomas Kincaid pictures. We each didn't know that the other had gotten almost the same thing, so we were very surprised when we exchanged gifts. We had only been dating for a few months, and already we were on the same page! This year it happened again. I got Dan a two-seater trailer for his bike, so that he can take all the kids on a bike ride once in awhile. He and the big kids have been going on rides every weekend since we moved into the new house. I thought the babies might like to go, too. I was so excited for Dan to open his present, because I thought I had done a good job thinking of it & because I knew he had no clue what I had gotten him. I was speechless when I came downstairs Christmas morning to find a beautiful metallic blue Schwinn bike waiting for me. This morning Dan built the trailer, adjusted the seat on my bike, and we have all ridden bikes this morning, except the babies, who were already napping by the time Dan finished the trailer. We plan to take everyone out this afternoon, before dinner. Beautiful bike

I think you could see Nathan's grin from space. He was so proud to be riding bikes with Mommy
