This is exactly how I feel too. My gifts are seeing my kids play with their friends, watching them do new and exciting things, helping them into bed at night and being there in the morning when they wake up. Their smiles are all I need and we have tons of fun just being silly that no store bought gift can match that ... EVER!

I even joke with my wife when she suggests that I get up with the kids in the morning so she can sleep in (I try to make that a shared thing between us) that I don't mind because I love my kids. Hinting at how she might not (which obviously is not the case). She just rolls her eyes and tells me to shut up.
