Something you want, need, wear, and read. And then some race cars, a personalized Mickey Mouse cd, and a cookie or something in the stocking. We picked out the want this year, probably for the last year, and just went off of what you like to do..so we had want: mini hot wheels monster truck toy, need: plates/bowls just for you, wear: mickey slippers (that you don't and won't wear...), read: a veggie tails book.
It's funny how hard it is to even stick to just four and stocking when you see so many fun things out there that you want to get your kid and think they'll enjoy playing with, but aiming at the bigger picture here. Your price range for wants/need/read will grow, too, so this way we can hopefully manage to reasonably get what you want and not have to confuse you with a drop in gift amounts along the way. Plus, the kids are surrounded by family that are great gift givers so there's always those bonuses, too.
Right now Caden is obsessed with 'groceries'. He loves grocery shopping and helping us out, he loves to play with fake groceries, just loves it. My parents got him a little Walmart basket with groceries in it, and we found him fast asleep Christmas Eve surrounded by all his groceries. Ridiculous and so cute.
He got Thomas and Cars plates/bowls. I stopped taking pictures after this so we could enjoy the moment more, so that's all I have for our Christmas morning.
It was a busy and tiring time this year having such a little newborn and being tired from all that comes with that, and Caden boycotted naps during both family days so that added to the feeling of being worn out, but we had a good Christmas this year. Of course our own little blessing of Reid, and our first Christmas as a family of four-can't get much better than that!
Merry Christmas from the Lee's, 2014.
