Good with tape

Ellie and I wrapped the first gift of the season today. We had picked something up yesterday for Linda. Ellie helped, which is to say that she applied tape while I folded and tucked paper.

She had so much fun that while we were out for lunch we got a second little gift to wrap. But Ellie wanted there to be a present for her under the tree. I suggested that since it is hard for Mom to go shopping that Ellie and I get a little gift to be for Ellie from Mom and we'd wrap it and put it under the tree. Although Ellie knows what it is, Mom will be surprised still when it gets opened.

She really liked that idea, so we did it. The great part about it is that the idea for the particular gift came from Linda. So it really is to Ellie from Mom.
