Cozy Coupe

It's always interesting to hear everyone's traditions for Christmas gifts for the kids. We stole a gift-giving "model" from some friends that seems to have worked for them and their three kids. We'll see how it goes as the years go by and our family grows. At our house, mommy and daddy will buy 3 presents for each child and they will be wrapped under the tree Christmas morning. (My friend tells her kids that Baby Jesus got three gifts and so do they...makes sense to me and my frugal budget loves it!) These gifts are toys...not socks, not a new shirt...TOYS. And then Santa will bring one unwrapped larger gift.

From us Stella got an animal puzzle that makes the animal's sounds, a Little People Thanksgiving set, and a baby doll high chair. Stella's gift from Santa was a Cozy Coupe. You will see that she LOVED it. She also got tons of other fun things from aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and friends. More photos to come on our Shutterfly site once I get a few minutes to sit back down at the computer.

And...Andy had a great birthday yesterday as well! Chocolate cake with chocolate icing and a side dish of vanilla bean ice cream...how could you not be happy?

We hope everyone had a great Christmas!
