  1. I have to deal w/ two birthdays right after christmas too!! My son will be 11 on January 3rd & my daughter will be 6 on January 2nd. It is so hard to but we usually have family over on New years day to celebrate both, we make it it simple just cake & ice cream. Then we have birthday parties later on in the month for their friends. I hate that we have to celebrate later in the month, but they have never complained about it!!:)
  2. All of the children's presents will go out on Christmas Eve. It used to be so much easier when they were younger because they would be so tired from the holiday gathering at my family's house on Christmas Eve and then come home and flop into bed, quickly falling asleep. It's reversed now though, I want to flop into bed when I get home and they're wide awake.

    I here you...I'm getting the same way, last year I layed down to take a quick nap before getting them all out & almost overslept!! lol... But yes they all come out in the wee hours of christmas eve.

  3. Hi! I have a 10 & 8 yr. old & it is very hard to come up w/ideas other than the video games, but got them both Heeleys (skate shoes) they are $39.99 right now, plus free S&h @ buy.com I'm also giving them a couple dvd's, pacer & colts jerseys, new basketball, football... gc for movie theater, Hope that helps a little bit!!
  4. I have three kids, 2 boys ( 10 & 8) & my little girl is 5, I'm having a real hard time this christmas, I recently stopped working & that has made a huge difference in what we can spend. Up until this year I really did'nt keep track of how much I spent I would just try to make sure they had about the same # of gifts to open. My dd is easy to buy for & cheapest by far, the boys are into the video games & I've already spent over $300 on one w/ just a psp & 3 games so I'm trying to figure out how to even the presents out. I hate for my dd to open a bunch & the boys only have 4 or 5 to open. It's hard & I imagine it's only gonna gets worse w/age!! If anyone could give me ideas to help this situation or you have been in the same boat I'de love to hear how you handled it!! Thanks & happy holidays to everyone:)
