The boys save up the gift cards that they get for their birthdays and Christmas each year until summer. Then we pick one day where they get to shop till they drop! It is like Christmas all over again! We spent 5 hours going to Toys R Us, a stop at Burger King where we met Daddy for lunch, and Walmart! Wow! It was surprisingly fun! Of course it was all about the kids, so they were well behaved and we had a great time perusing the toy isles and electronics! They each ended up with way more than they needed and we took time to talk about wants vs. needs and blessings. I would recommend this to anyone! Plus, when they wanted things between the holidays and Christmas, I just saidk, "Keep that in mind for our gift card spending day!" :)
Thanks Gramby, Pa Pa, Uncle Tim, Aunt Laurie, Ben, Brian, Nick, Stephen, Michael, and an anonymous friend for the gift cards! So fun to spend them!
