Naughty Versus Nice

I swear I was good this year, but apparently I made the naughty list. And somehow, miracle of miracles, Teddy made the nice list?!?!

That must be the case because what else could explain Santa bringing this to our house for Teddy?
Not-so-little drummer boy.

Yep, that's right. Santa brought Teddy a full drum set. 

Santa, aka Dave, saw how darn happy and content Teddy was at Thanksgiving playing the drums at my aunt's house for several hours. We've never really spoiled Teddy for Christmas, and, honestly, he's gotten very small gifts several years because there's been nothing we could think of that he would enjoy much. But Santa made up for that this year. 

Pure joy in the form of non-stop drumming. Don't worry, he took turns and made everyone play the drums. While they've lost a bit of their luster (literally and figuratively) in the past week, they are very much loved by Teddy. We know that every new visitor to our house will be shown the drum set, given a performance and then a lesson in proper drumming according to teacher Teddy. 

Last year felt very much like getting through Christmas was the goal. This year, I think we all felt a bit of joy.
