Congrats GreenTick may you be happy for as long as parents (53 years) and as my hubby and me (27 years).
Settling down is not for everyone we were in the military and moved every few years so now that we are retired out about every 3 - 4 years we get the itch for some place new.
We have 2 wonderful girls and both are just the opposit of us the want to stay in one place that they can call home and raise their families.
Money is tight this year so if I get anything from my hubby I’ll be lucky. He knows not to get practical but get me something that I really want and have said so all year but wouldn’t dare buy for myself, he will usually have the store wrap it because he hates to wrap things. For him I get something that wants and has hinted at but I do the wrapping myself.
This year is about our 3 Grandkids one of which we have not seen yet, Ryne is 3 and the only grandson Addison will be 2 and Bailey is 7 months. (All to the same mom and dad). As well as our 2 daughters.
With 2 girls I would wrap there presents in colors that coradinate with them I would use a solid color on their bigger gifts and then would use a print on the smaller gifts that a background color of the solid. So if I wrapped the older ones larger gifts with a solid green then the other paper had a green back ground and the younger on if in a solid red her background would be red. The adults would be wraped in what I ever I liked. It made givng out the gifts easy.
My younger daughter was my snoop and would get her older sister in trouble for having her help her. We were in the military so each new house had a different hiding spot.
Now that we grandparents we get to carry on the traditons that we started with our girls and yes that encludes that wrapping now I just have to figure out for 3 kids 3 solid colors for 1 boy and 2 girls. Any ideas out there, they are all 3 and younger?
