  Layla and I have been in many GEs and we had a lot of fun. However, there can be pressure to spend a lot because many people buy things on sale or "stock" up so it looks like they have spent a lot of money, and whether they have or not, we always felt like we didn't spend enough. Now that we have been in the GE 5 times- we won't participate anymore I don't think- Layla is a very lucky girl and doens't need anymore toys so next year we will probably donate the money we would have spent on gifts and send it to a yorkie rescue.
 Also, like Ellie May said, we can be picky with what Layla is allowed to have and not allowed to have- soI feel bad saying- we can have this but not this and this.
 
 The GE is a great time overall- you will love it!
