we put gifts that come in from out of town family & friends under the tree as they arrive.

all of the gifts that we buy just have the kids' names on them - we don't specify
who they are from.  we leave that vague.  idk why.  just how we do it.  we also don't coordinate wrapping paper in any way - i just wrap stuff until that roll is gone and then move on to something else. 

everything gets wrapped except for unwrappable stuff.  this year that means jake's bike and we are leaving emily's barista set unwrapped so jake isn't the only one with an unwrapped gift.

in their stockings goes a variety of stuff - dvd, candy, $1 toys, etc. i don't always do candy in the kids' stockings, but i do in matt's.  this year they're all getting candy.  i do tend to wrap everything in there.



barista set? i'm intrigued. link please?

 


it's not amazing, but it's pretty cute.

i got it during one of the step2 pre-xmas sales, so i got the 2 pack for $15 (the 2 pack is normally $30).

i thought emily would love being able to make me a cup of coffee.  both of my kids are well aware of my coffee obsession.  :P

Things on Ethan's Santa list are from Santa. Anything extra is from us. EJ and I also get a couple of gifts from Santa.

Different gift wrap on Santa gifts. I'll use any leftover on gifts to other people next year so it doesn't go to waste.

Stocking is a mix of candy, toys, and necessities like toothbrush and bandaids.

We used to keep non-Santa gifts under the tree as they came but we were afraid the dog would get to them so they are all in the closet.
