• Personalized Christmas Ornaments.  This year I’m planning on buying an Elsa ornament for Ari, Ballet shoes for Nora, Minecraft or Star Wars for Blake, Super Mario for David, and a horse for Maddie.  Each year I do this and when they have their own Christmas tree, I will give them the ornaments so they have some decorations.

• Swing set
• A family present such as a ski trip.
• Photo books made from Shutterfly.  I have made books of them by year and different events.  They LOVE them.  Plus it’s a keepsake.  Win for all!
