Yearly christmas present spending roundup

I wasn't sure we could come in under last year's Christmas budget ($40 for both kids), but I gotta say, we really lucked out this year with some amazing secondhand finds. The total for both kids this year was a whopping $11.99 - special shout-outs to the awesome friends who keep us in mind for their hand-me-down toys!
