Christmas 2000, the kids were all home with the grandkids and my parents. We had trashed the living room with all the wrapping paper and the little ones were playing with the boxes and ribbon, when my DH said "Santa must have dropped this present when he came down the chimney." In the fireplace was a Walmart bag......He pulled out the first package and gave it to me. Inside was a baby food jar full of sand. The second package was a babyfood jar of blue water. The third package was a yellow Nerf ball the he had made rays like a sun from construction paper and sunglasses. I said that looks like a beach...the fourth package was the plane tickets to Puerto Vilarta, Mexico. He had also made arrangements with my boss for the time off work and my mom to come and stay with the kids. All I had to do is pack my suitcase. I was the first vacation we had since our honeymoon 16 years before. It was wonderful!
