He "discovered" his present in the closet last year. I don't know if he felt guilty or not, but we did discuss disappointing others. That, at least, kept him from telling his sisters what other treasures he found. I am still bad about surprises. I blame it on my obsessive control-freak nature. There are a couple things under the tree that I don't know though. I no longer have time to snoop. ;) You do have great kids! :) I’m afraid my son is taking after me.

My parents could have hidden my gifts under my own bed and I wouldn't peek. The surprise, for me, was too important. My 9dd accidentally discovered one of her gifts from her Nana a few days ago. That night she couldn't sleep. Her conscience got the best of her. She was crying because she knew about the gift and she thought her Nana would be disappointed. We reassured her it was really okay and she was able to find peace in her heart again. She has so much integrity she often asks me to help her with her 9 year-old temptations. What great kids I have! :) I never wanted to know what my gifts were. My parents could have hidden my gifts under my own bed and I wouldn’t peek. The surprise, for me, was too important.
