Holiday Wednesdays

We realized last year that having a child with a birthday so close to the holidays meant too many gifts which trumped each other (and sometimes a child who feels a little too entitled with all the gifts and attention). So, we started a new tradition if spacing out our gifts. During the month of December, Rai gets to open one gift each Wednesday before bed. That way, he can enjoy his gift for an entire week before his attention is drawn to another gift.

Week 1 - a Ninjago light jacket
Week 2 - Star Wars Angry Birds Jenga game
Week 3 - ? (Rai will find out tonight)

Holiday Shopping

Rai and I kicked off our holiday shopping the day after Thanksgiving with a puppet show, a picture with his favorite musical characters (Elfaba and Mary Poppins), a few stores for gifts, and two stores for Rai to spend his birthday money.
