Addendum

I almost forgot a really fun part of our ornament excursion! We had a really good coupon that I wanted to use, but it would mean that Jared and I had to buy our ornaments at the same time. Since we try to keep them a surprise, I wasn't quite sure how that was going to turn out. So, as we stepped into the Hallmark store and up to the cash register area, we tried to explain our plight to the lady behind the counter. I was really just hoping that she would put them in separate bags, or something along those lines. She went way beyond that! I got Jared's first and she proceeded to wrap his ornament box in tissue paper so he couldn't look through the bag - so cute! Then she did the same thing with mine when Jared stepped up to the counter. She made sure that neither of us where anywhere near as she was ringing up the ornament for the other. But she saved the best part for last, she took our receipt and put it in an envelope - complete with a golden Hallmark sticker- to make sure neither one of us could peek at it until they were opened. Hurrah for the Hallmark Lady- she made obtaining our ornaments even more fun than usual! She definitely got a gold star for the day!!!
