Christmas was really low key this year. We were still able to continue our three gift tradition though. Each child received books for their gift of learning. I was able to find books for each of them from the Friends of Library section at our local library, so I spend about $5 total for all the kids books. Tink got blue Converse shoes for her gift of fun and perfume for her gift of love. Bucko got a sleeper yo-yo for fun and a phone for love (PC's old one but Bucko really needed one because he has been babysitting a lot more lately). Minnie got boots for love and a drawing set for fun. Goofy got a remote control truck and a Spiderman lunchbox for fun and Epic Mickey Wii game for love. Shortcake got a Rapunzel dress for love and a Doc McStuffins doctor set and a Belle Magiclip doll for fun. Rosie got a sweater Nana knitted for her and a training sippy cup that counted for love, gift, and learning. She loved tearing and "eating" the wrapping paper.
The kids each used a coupon they had gotten for the summer reading program to get gifts for each other. It was so nice they could continue the sibling gifts and not have to spend any money at all on them.
With some of PC's family in town, we all went bowling one day. It seems to be tradition now. The kids had a lot of fun.
Love it! Sometimes I think the simpler Christmases are better and more appreciated anyway. Looks like they loved every minute!
