This is what the girls saw when they came downstairs Christmas morning!  I must admit, every single thing I bought was either second hand or on sale… $10 here and there… I stretched our money so far, it looks like way more than it is… but I want the kids to remember what their Christmas looked like, so I hope this doesn’t seem over the top.  I enjoy shopping for deals all year round and tucking their treasures away up high in our closet.  I get so excited thinking about the girls’ excitement on Christmas morning all through the year!

This was Rose’s little stash… she didn’t even know what it was, so hers will keep growing.  My favorite thing we gave Rose was a “R” necklace wrapped around the Build-A-Bear horsey.

This was Anna Kate’s couch.  Her favorite thing is dress-up, so that is what she got!  She loved all the little extras, as all the asked for was a Jessie doll and outfit!  That was definitely my favorite thing we gave Anna Kate!  She wanted us to call her “Jessie Kate” all Christmas day!

This is Noelle’s couch (can you tell)… lots of make-up/jewelry and lots of PINK!  My favorite thing we gave Noelle was her necklaces because I know she will enjoy wearing them so much!  Her favorite thing was the make-up, so if you see her face transforming on the blog from picture to picture, just know we are letting her experiment and have fun doing something that she loves!

There’s a lot of Justice on this side!  We shop Justice redlines and take an additional 40% off… that’s how I roll.  She begged for a rain jacket.  I found the green Polka Dotted one at Kid to Kid for $7.99, plus 20% off… few examples I’m seriously not joking when I say this didn’t cost a lot.  The little piece sign 126 piece make-up box was $2.00 after my Khol’s coupons (it was a $30 box originally) and that’s the main thing she wanted.
