They must have been good kids this year! To avoid the excess of what is Christmas, Charlie and I used the following technique for the kids Christmas this year (borrowed from one of Meredith's friends. Each child got 4 presents from us:
1. Something you want
2. Something you read
3. Something you wear
4. Something you need
This system worked out great and we will continue to use it in the future, very practical and they really have to think about what they want to receive. Of course, they still get totally spoiled by grandparents and aunts and uncles!
Emma Kate's #1 request...Mickey jammies!! Of course, nothing Mickey comes in girl so these were again bought from the boy's department. I am cursing Disney...not all girls only like Minnie and Daisy!
Charlotte is her "totally cool" new outfit...you can't see the cute new tights though!
The dolls were still the big hit even after Santa came!
Easels from Santa for the girls (what a random outfit for Emma Kate...the leotard wasn't even new from Christmas!) and tons of Little People for Cooper! I got an awesome deal on Craigslist for Little People so everyone received a couple of sets as they still all love playing Little People!
