Today I’m so happy to share with you everything we got our five children for Easter! We typically buy one decent-sized gift—for us that’s around the $20 price range—along with a basket full of fun goodies. We try to keep things even as much as possible, while thinking about each kiddo and their own personal preference. We have two boys and three girls, ranging from age 5 to 15 in our big, blended family, so I hope this gives you some fun Easter gift ideas! ???Thanks for watching!?
