Our Christmas break was very low key. On Christmas Eve we had leftover homemade cafe rio burritos and hot chocolate. The kids opened their sibling gifts and they got to stay up late. Brian stayed up until 1 or 2 am with me so I could finish my projects for the girls. I made a snow white cottage drape to go over a card table to make a "play cottage" and also sewed aprons for me and the girls. Brian and I didn't need a big christmas so we just splurged on the kids. They recieved lots of gifts this year, the bulk of which included: the aforementioned cottage, aprons, new play kitchen, play kitchen pots & food, barbie unicorn, large wooden train track set and trains, 2 car mats and some cars, car garage, a few disney movies, mini trampoline, mini ice cream makers, and some other odds and ends.
Brian's standards on Christmas gifts were greater than mine and what I was used to growing up, so I tried to buy plenty of things - it wasn't too hard to be honest! It turns out I exceeded both our expectations on their gifts yet still stayed under budget. It may have been a lot, but they've sure been plenty busy with their new stuff and I love it!
