This year it was easy. The wife and I bought a 2014 Mondo for each other and the kids. Just got the new surfboard. Bring on Christmas we don't know how much longer we can keep our mouths shut. Can't wait to the the kids reaction Cristmas eve when we tell them!

That's going to be an awesome Christmas morning. If your kids are anything like me when I was a kid there is no better gift you could have gotten! I hope you and your family gain years of good memories together out on the water!

Thanks, the memories are what are after. BTW, I think the wife and are more excited for Christmas than the kids. But they will go nuts!

If you have verizion look at there small business plan it allows up to 10 lines and do the shared data. One way to control data is set the phones to update over wifi only. This used to be an issue, but now almost anyplace the kids are has free wifi.

All 3 kids this year are getting iPod touches - mainly so Mom can have her phone back. She doesn't know it yet, but Jill will be getting a new iPad. On top of that, the oldest and Jill are both getting surfboards. I'm done spending money...

What a good dad! I am sure we will see Jill carving with her new surf board at the Jam next year!

I have twin boys who are 13 now and have been constantly borrowing laptops from mom, sis, me, etc. They are each getting new ones (they have a tablet already and there is a community IPAD they use). I wish I had a good idea for phones for them. I already have 4 on my plan. Maybe I'll start a "work for your phone" plan and do prepays or something.

What's the limit on your family plan? You might consider branching off, let the kids do the shared multi-line plan, do an individual plan of your own. They're the ones who will burn up all the data and msgs. You may be able to downgrade your own features and save a few bucks. Then you get the newest phone and pass your old one down!

Curious where you ended up on this one? Talking to my brother yesterday - similar issue with kids/phones.

You just need to remind them of what Dave Ramsey says. Right now you need to live like nobody else so later on you can live like nobody else. Haha
