This was a tight year for us financially, so we bought presents with our budget in mind. We had made a deal with my side of the family to have a limit of $30 per person, a deal that I thought everyone was sticking to. Though we didn't talk that out with Curtis' parents, we assumed it was a tight year for them as well and they would be taking it easy on the gifts. Imagine our surprise when my parents gave us air tickets to Florida and 4 day passes to the parks and Curtis' parents gave us a LCD Flat Screen TV. I know that Christmas is about giving instead of receiving, but we were so sad we couldn't give more. 
I mean seriously, it is like a bad tourist slogan..."I gave my kids an LCD TV an all I got was this lousy golf shirt."
So to our loving, generous parents....we can't thank you enough. Your generosity never ceases to amaze us.
