I love xmas too.. Its so much more fun as the kids get older

I go to an online santa letter thing and get letters for the kids ( print out myself)

also Santaclauslive is awesome. My Dh's family is finnish and its live from finland. We hope one day to actually go there.

for pressies. birthday the kids get 3 presents each. 1 fun, 1 practical and 1 educational

for Xmas we usually buy one big ticket item and then a few small things each. this year all the boys are getting a green machine each but different types. Ethan is getting the big star wars one and Isaac the actual green machine and Jacob is getting another type. Livi is getting a bike.. It might seem extravagent to buy 3 of those bike things but we are eliminating fights plus my mum and sister have gone 3rds in it with us.. I can't wait for Xmas day..
