" i got you something wanna know what it is? want a hint?"
i tell people what they are getting for christmas. i always have. ALWAYS.
i don't like surprises.
these things never bothered me. EVER.
but now i get it.
after taking my kids shopping , making the extra effort to be secretive and go totally alone, they came home and hinted, guessed and told eachother what they bought. not one came home and didn't tell someone.
the only one that doesn't know what they are getting or even giving is the hubs. and maybe Pierce, i did some of his shopping while i was with the others.(i bought the same thing they gave the others) of course while this heads off any disappointment or buying for themselves, now they know what Pierce is giving them. still a good solution except for the hinting.
Hope came home and told peyton she got him something round.
Hope got the other girls something glittery and squishy.
Joy told liberty she bought her something for sleeping.
Paxton flat out told Peyton what he bought for dad and me- something for cocoa.
i can't even recall what Liberty got for anyone and so far i don't think she's even hinted.
can you guess what the kids got for eachother from their hints?
so instead of spending 5 hours yesterday taxiing kids one at a time to the store. i should have taken them all at once for one hellish hour and been good to go. next year the hubs gets to help.
can you guess what the kids got for eachother from their hints?
are you a good secret keeper? or are you a hint giver?

ahh that is cute! Im totally guessing but Peyton definitely got a ball! Someone got a blanket, or a pillow, sounds like you guys got new mugs!
I'm a good secret keeper when the other person who the secret is for allows me to be! Does that make sense? I can get easily pressured into hint giving though ;)
David is at the store right now with #3. he is taking them one by one to get gifts for each other and me. i will take them later together to get something for him and cousins. i'm a good secret keeper depending on what it is.
Julie isn't kidding. She CAN'T KEEP A SECRET. EVER.
Aw, man! That stinks, my mom has ours all hidden under a huge sleeping bag, HUGE!!!
Sorry:(
I am dying to tell my husband what I got him.
I ♥ surprises!!! Growing up, my Mom always took me shopping with her to pick out stuff for the siblings and myself. Once in a while my Mom would surprise me, but mostly I knew what I was getting - usually because I only wanted ONE particular thing. I try really hard to surprise my family. I make my kids PROMISE not to tell ANYONE what they got each other. They've been good about it so far. My hubby doesn't like keeping secrets. When he gets me something, he can never wait to give it to me. He always wants to give it to me early so he can see me open it. My sister is the same way. She either wants to tell me what it is or make me open it early, cuz it kills her to not tell. LOL
I am really good at NOT telling what I've bought to who I got it for. Does that make sense? haha
