"Shut the door! I'm naked!"

Oh Christmas time, how I love thee.....the problem with Christmas when your older is you have kids! I love Christmas for the exact same reason as why I despise it! About 2 weeks ago I told Ty I wanted him to take the kids on a daddy date so I could wrap. My kids got about 24 presents a piece this year (a little less then the past few years, but still a crap load) so I wanted to get a head of the game. Well Ty informs me that wrapping on Christmas Eve was our "tradition", really?! because I thought it was just me being lazy! So today, he looks at me and says "Let's go upstairs and wrap presents." It irritated me a little but I said okay because I didn't want to have to wait up tonight to do it. So we put on The Grinch for the kids and go upstairs.

Post housing doors have this weird little slot on the outside of the knob. Basically you can stick a penny in it and twist and it unlocks the door. This means no monkey business until the kids are completely knocked out!

So about 15 minutes into wrapping I thought I heard something, but Ty said it was nothing. 15 seconds later the door almost opened. It was Kadence! I screamed "Get out!!!!" Ty...OMG....TY screamed "I'm naked!" and then he screams "We're doing grown up'ish things!"

My mouth dropped and all I could imagine was this story being told to the grandparents.

I got her out and she inquired as to why Daddy was naked and all I could say was "Daddy just likes to be naked...he's weird."

Kadence came up a few times after that and just kept asking "Is Daddy still naked?", "Why is Daddy still naked?", "Daddy has been naked a long time!"

I just want to say Thank You to my husband for the magnificent Christmas memory! At least Santa still exists! Merry Christmas everyone!
