We are in the same boat!!!! DS 9, all of his stuff cost a ton!!! DD3, i can get away with spending less. I have all of her stuff put in the attic from Target's clearence sales. Thank God!!! DS wants a WII, they both want a new trampoline. DD is getting a kitchen from Santa. This year, I'm doing 1 big (expensive) gift and the rest smaller things. I try to make everything the same. Size, price and number of gifts. But I also know that as long as they get the main thing they want, they will be super happy. Last year, DS got a Fizion, so we got Ally a Dora scooter. I try to match everything up.
