I'm going to be traveling with my son this weekend, and will be doing our gift exchange at some point during that time...
It will be just the two of us exchanging gifts, so I'm feeling a little odd that it isn't a bigger family thing as far as the memories I will be making for him. He still gets the big family traditions with his mom's side of the family. We are divorced for those who don't know my situation, and my family does get together for meals... and he sees his cousins, but with no focus on gifts.
I have a little bit of a tradition that I do every year of buying him a few tools to add to his tool box so by the time he is older he will have a nice collection...
We don't do a ton of gifts or anything since I spread stuff out all through the year...
Maybe I'm just missing the old days when I went caroling and there seemed to be a lot more excitement in my family... Could be that I'm just viewing things differently as an adult?
Does anybody have ideas for making this a special memory for him? I really try to make every time I'm with him a special memory... He is growing up so fast!
