When Olivia was little she was spoiled. Then along cam Dylan, and like all second children, he is deprived. And horror of horrors, Elliott is bound to end up on some talk show ruined for life because of all the hand me downs. Okay, so I am being over dramatic here, but you are hearing my mommy guilt showing! I am the oldest of three and the only girl. So I always got new and never had to share, well, for the most part.
After spending the last year, asking, then yelling and finally resorting to sorting the toys myself, I have decided to follow the 5 rule of Christmas gifts. 1. Share 2. Need 3. Want 4. Wear 5. Read
And I have added one more, 6. Stockings
This is the list my children are recieving this year
1. A new blue ray/dvd combo player for their television.
2. A glow in the dark moon for our bedroom, to go with our glow in the dark stars!
3. Olivia is getting baby doll furniture for her stuffed animals!
Dylan will be getting a Vehicle hauling semi truck with additional stunt car.
4. A pair of pajamas to open Christmas Eve along with the books to read before bed.
5. A pair of books ordered from Olivia's school that helped earn books for her class as well!
6. Stockings full of dollar store specials. My kids really enjoy the grow in the water toys.
This will be the first year for the pajamas and the books. I want to begin this as a tradition for our family, eventually with our children reading to us. What memories we are sure to make!
