In October, I found a cute little fire car on a great sale at Amazon. Amazed, I scooped it up and hid it in my husband's closet. A month later, I found an adorable police car on sale at Kohl's. One more large gift added to the closet. Christmas rolled around and I couldn't figure out how to wrap them. So, we decided to have a treasure hunt for my two-year-old and one-year-old grandson. We couldn't give clues with words but we could with pictures. We snapped some photos of their crib, the fireplace, and the garage. We printed them on our printer. Then we wrapped up the photo of the crib in a little box. Rusty and Cooper opened the box and headed to the crib where they found another photo taped to the side of the crib. The photo on the crib was a photo of the fireplace, so he headed to the living room. Taped to the fireplace was a photo of the garage, so the boys hurried to the garage where their cars were waiting. We put a photo on each boy's car so they would know whose was whose. My son bought his nephews a gas pump which I think they liked even more than the cars. Overall, the treasure hunt was much more fun than wrapping a present. Happy New Year Everyone. Hope you had a very merry Christmas. Warmly, Meredith Curtis
