General / Off-Topic My Christmas Morning - By a proud dad.

Well, 7 o'clock this morning my three children dived in to a pile of presents like Scrooge McDuck dives in to his money.
Paper went flying, sounds of laughter and fun soon followed. Then after about 10 minutes, there was a pause - my 5 year old had just opened her second electronic pet bird toy.
She looked at it, said she liked it and it was great but her little sister didn't have a pet bird so my 5 year old looked at me and said "My sister can have this one, as I have two and she doesn't have any" and then placed the toy bird in her little sisters stack of opened presents.


My 2 year old, has not put down that bird all day, even after she finally found her own electronic pets (including, a pet bird).


Just thought I'd share my Christmas morning with everyone.


Happy Holidays all.

Awesome story, although I did think you were going to say "She looked at it, said she liked it and it was great but it wasn't Elite Dangerous" :)

Opened peasants, sounds messy!
 
Sweet. You are a parent of some very young over excited kids on Xmas day yet still find time to go on the ED forums to share..

The beauty of having dinner at the in laws today - I get 30 minutes peace while my wife gets the girls ready (shower etc) to go out and my lad is busy with his stuff ;)

Thank you for your kind remarks all, I hope you've all had (or having depending on your time zone) a great day.
