I've had a delightful afternoon. I took Ella, our 18 year old granddaughter out to lunch and then we went Christmas shopping so that she could choose some things that she wanted in her stocking. I'll do the same with Ivy when the school year ends.
@narayani I'd much rather do that than buy things that they don't like or want. I give them a budget so they have to think about their purchases and it also means that if there are some things that they really like but have to choose between, I can get them later as a "surprise".
