Christmas without Kids

This won't be a somber post. But a fun one :)

This is our 6th Christmas together. In those 6 years with it being just us no kids we have NEVER been able to keep gifts a secret until Christmas.

Our first Christmas as a couple we gave each other our gifts on Christmas Eve after church. Our 2nd and 3rd Christmas we did the same thing. Now on our 6th Christmas together we couldn't even keep it until then.

We've already exchanged gifts. For us that is Christmas without kids. Right now all the money we'd spend on kids we spend on each other. So come the time when we have kids we may each get one gift from the other.

So what did we get for Christmas?
Well I got Cart a new PS3 with 2 games he wanted. He'll also get a garmin foot pad for running (when it is in stock).

Now what did I get? A sewing machine, Photoshop, a new cartridge for my cricut, and lots of scrapbooking stuff! Oh and a new patio set for the deck! But we've been waiting since summer for that particular set to go on sale.

I still have a few stocking stuffers for Cart left to give him....well actually buy him so maybe that will wait till Christmas!

The postive note is we can't keep secrets from each other.

We also cannot wait. As soon as the the last gift has been bought we are tearing into them. What great gifts you got! I bet you are so excited!
