Early Christmas presents for our sons

I was at store and picked up two new potatoe peelers. They fell for it I said don’t open that bag because it is Christmas gifts for you two. Awwww come on dad mom will never know we won’t say a word, so I gave them the presents I said you want mashed potatoes no skins on them. It offends you both to have lumpy mashed potatoes and potatoe skins boiled well here you go you two will need these Thursday morning because your mom and grandma have five bags needs peeling. I hugged them both and said see fellas dad loves you both that it hurts.

The love you have for them kids is evident in every post about em. You should be proud of yourself. While I may bust your balls from time to time, I can tell you're a great dad. Those kids are lucky to have you brother.
