The Greatest Gift

The digital camera rocks. The pony was hysterical. The iPod is amazing (and that's before I've even learned how to use it! It's still in the wrapper). The suitcase full of photos and letters from friends and family, far and near is without a doubt the coolest thing I've ever been given (even cooler than the rubber chicken vest my college sweetheart made me). But the best gift, and the one I wanted most of all, is the gift of scheming. Knowing that people you love are putting their heads together and taking time out from writing their new book, their tour of Europe or from watching the kids to do something just for you-well, that's the greatest gift.

And I am so so thankful.
