No gift receipt?

For Christmas, my parents gave me the best gift: a new vacuum.

My sweet mother had to order it from the manufacturer because she could not find the one she wanted anywhere else. (She wanted to get the pet version since I have a husband, 3 sons, and dark green carpet, and she wanted to give me all the help she could. I have to say my carpets have never looked so good. Thanks Mom!!)

My parents gave Brett a new leaf blower.

We have a really big front porch that gets completely covered with the berries that fall from the tree above. Brett has been using a broom and the hose to clean the porch off whenever we want to spend time out there. My parents thought he would have more fun with this.

When we were all done opening presents Christmas morning, Brett looks at me and says (in front of my whole family) "Necia, I think your parents are really losing their touch when it comes to giving us presents." It gets really quiet, and everyone is just staring at Brett with wide eyes. My parents looked hurt. Brett went on to say, "Yeah, your present sucks, and mine blows!" It took everyone a second to realize the joke in this situation, but as soon as we realized what he was saying, we couldn't stop laughing! Just retelling this story makes the pit return to my stomach before I start to laugh all over again.

Needless to say, we think our presents are awesome!
