Sister Shopping

This is our second year of Sister Shopping. Each sister gets a small budget (around $5) and must pick out something for each sister that she would like or has said she wants.

We almost didn't make it to Sister Shopping this year. I was going to try to take the girls in early December, but they get so excited about Sister Shopping that I thought it was a long time for them to wait. Then I got sick and there was no going anywhere. I can tell you that next year we will do Sister Shopping the week after Thanksgiving just in case!
 It takes two of us also for Sister Shopping because one keeps the girls who are not shopping and the other parent has the girl who is picking out the gifts for her sisters and then they switch. Finally on Christmas Eve, we were able to shop for just a little while with these sisters. Actually, I had the girls who weren't shopping this year and Brent was in charge of helping each girl pick out gifts for their sisters.

Bethany supervised this year. Rachel was very focused. She had heard Bekah say that she wanted an Anna Barbie doll and she was determined to find her one.

Later on Christmas Eve, they took turns hiding in the den to wrap their sisters' presents.

So far, every year the Sister gifts are the first gifts they reach for under the tree. They are so excited to see what their sisters picked out for them.

Rachel found Bekah that Anna Barbie doll as was looking for and Bekah got Rachel a Peppa Pig set. Bethany got a new baby doll from Bekah.

I love these sweet sisters and how much they love each other. Though they have their times where they don't agree or get along, they do love each other a lot. They are fun to watch as they learn and grow together. I love watching them think of each other as they pick out gifts and plan what will bless their sisters each year.
