That's great Kelly! Thanks for sharing.
1. Melissa and Doug Hide and Seek Farm Puzzle: you open the doors and there are magnetic animals behind each one that can be removed or hidden in other parts of the puzzle. Jake has played with this for hours since opening it. He loves it.
2. Pop Up Firetruck Tent: both boys LOVE Fireman Sam and all things firetruck related. They have played with this tent for hours as well. I LOVE that it easily pops up and folds down to next to nothing.
3.123 Stomp: you stomp on the console and the numbers drop. Numbers are then called out and you have to put them back. As Ty learns more math he can play the higher levels that require addition. Super fun, active number/math game.

Here are a few of my favs (not necessarily Ryan's!):
LiteBrite (he likes it but loses interest after putting in one set of colors...we're doing all the white...then all the blue...etc.)
automoblox - we got 3 of them after someone posted about an awesome amazon sale. I think each ended up being about $5-6
the marble racer game that I posted about is Ryan's fav...
followed by the bat cave and the dragon castle from imaginext.
I wish he loved his tag reader --- maybe he will if I start using that at night to read stories to him.
Natalie loves her Laugh and Learn musical puppy, little people set, and her new push walker.

Lindy got a small kitchen and a ton of food(plastic, wood, felt, all kinds). She loves it.
She also got these books that have a pen that reads words out loud from MIL. I thought it would be obnoxious, but it is so so great. The pen even has a headphone jack for reading in public. It saved us during a long wait at a restaurant on Sun.
DS got a ginormous nerf gun. He is thrilled. His dad got him a dirtbike. We will see how thrilled he is with that later.
Lil J was crazy spoiled this year, the joy of being the only child in either of our families! But his most played with so far is the Plasmcar, this thing is great fun, every one in the family took turns, even grandma and grandpa!
The boys are in love with their new peanut ball. They've been bouncing non-stop on it.
Also, Melissa & Doug magnetic color maze, magnetic turtle maze, and just a simple ring toss game.
Sorry I'd link and PIP but I don't know how to from my Mac.
D got this too, and loves it, although he doesn't quite get it yet ,but he likes putting on the stickers with momma!
Both lil ones love the trampoline santa got them, it is a GREAT way to wear out energy too on these rainy days.
Devin also loves the Melissa and Doug art easel, as well as the "cutting" food box.
DS got so much stuff he's barely had time to play with it all. I'm really please because so much of it is stuff he'll have a long time. His car motorbike is from Germany and is really well made and he does love it.
The thing he lost his mind over is a child sized referee shirt from Daddy. That kid just loves to boss everyone around.
He also got a great new hockey book, Z is for Zamboni. We've read it several times already.
He got a great drum with cymbals from First Act (a gift from Grampa). And a Schoenhut My First Piano II from his other grandparents.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg.
