re: christmas presents

I dont have a preferance (sp?) lol at all. i mean last year my kids had at least 30 gifts each some really cheap some really costly ones.

I have 3 kids this yr and even my 10 month old has l;ike 20 gifts so far and I am not done yet. lol I have one more thing to get her, a sled for our walks. lol

I go based on when I fell I am done. lol

If u buy anything else i would make sure its something that benefits u that u know they need... clothes, little bath sets, shoes, maybe a book even, toothbrush sets, maybe even a new blanket for the bed. I wouldnt buy a whole bunch of little random stuff just to up the present count.

I only buy my children two presents a piece. I will never spoil my children the way I was spoiled, because it's not really a blessing... it's a hinderance. I don't want them to feel like the world owes them something.

So yes. I think that's plenty.

I always loved getting little random things, lol. My LO really loves little things like that too. I do see your point though

I try so hard not to spoil LO. It's really hard for me but I think DH and I are doing good with it. That's the main reason why I wanted two children because I didn't want a spoiled only child.

I was rotten. Like to the core. It was a rude and serious wakeup call when I hit the real world  

That's why I wanted two children, too. I was an only child and I think that really did have a lot to do with it.

St Nick brought them stuff like that in their stocking. each kid got a dvd, pjs, slippers, DD got hair stuff and a new brush, they all got toothbrushes and their own toothpaste(big deal here lol   and other misc stuff

but all kids have new blankets. those were bought in Sept.

I think I need to talk to DH about actually trying for a second... I'm so scared though! We wanted to be married for at least 4 years first but I got pregnant ONE MONTH after we got married....while on bc.... Now that LO is 3, it's great and we can have time to ourselves...I just can't imagine starting over but I think now's the best time due to our work situation. Plus, I've been getting bad baby fever lately, lol.

Personally if it was me, I would get them each one or 2 more thing, or maybe something to share. Just because they are still really young. But if you choose not to, I still think they are very lucky to get what they got!

kaylee is all about qauntity.. this year i spent maybe 50 dollars on her.. (all i could afford) but i got her the stuff she wanted even if it was some cheap 5 dollar toy
