A friend told us about what her family does...We decided to exchange four gifts: something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read.
I loved exchanging gifts with Alex this year.
Alex
Want: a shooting date (Grace free)
Need: dress shirts
Wear: cowboy boots
Read: Life after death by Dinesh D'Souza
Rheanna
Want: kitchen aid stand mixer, date night (we went to Reel Club, Chicagoans- it's a favorite of mine)
Need: kitchen aid stand mixer ;)
Wear: a little dress from The Loft
Read: The Pioneer Woman's new cook book
Hopefully, Grace enjoys growing up with this tradition and she won't come to expect a slew of gifts Christmas morning. The reason for the season is the birth of our savior and this allows us to focus on that while still showing each other the love and joy that goes with exchanging gifts.
