Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

This was the first year we really cut back on gifts and it worked great. The kids were more excited about getting what they really wanted and didn't notice the lack of "extra" things they didn't care about.

Favorites:
DS3-Geotrax train set and matchbox cars

DD6-Raggedy Andy doll (to match her Raggedy Ann) and an art book

DS9-Lego car set and money (he's been wanting a big Lego set and finally understands the value of saving $)

For my 4 yodd it was the Cranium Superfort. All my kids (2 to 17 years old) have had a great time with it.

The older children - their table tennis table and set!

The younger children - their wooden swing and slide/fort set!

Nothing small this year, just shared presents that will keep them better occupied in the year to come!

Whew...what a relief! We're not the only Wii family here!
That was the big gift for the whole family and the biggest hit by far. Even I play on the darned thing (bowling).
