    My 3 year old niece has everything...she has sooo many people that buy for her it's hard to know what to get her!  It's sad that it's hard to buy for a 3 year old...they are usually easy :)  I wish my brother would limit the people that buy for her because it takes away any specialness that she might get from grandparents and aunts/uncles.  But my sister in law thinks she has to buy stuff for her entire family up to 4th cousins...so in turn it means that those same people buy for my niece...talk about madness!

    I can only imagine! I'd hate to be in her family....I can't imagine how expensive all of that gets!!! This year I'm sticking with board games for the kids. My neice and nephew both love to play them and they have everything else so at least this is something they can do with their parents and friends. The plus side is I can get several fun games without it costing an arm and a leg!

    I got my nephew Clue Jr...its too cute! I'm gonna get my neice Mall Madness-the hannah montana edition. I vividly remember my sister and I playing that and Sweet Valley High ALL day on saturdays!!!

    Oh I loved both of those games as a kid! 

    Clue is one of my fave games.  I thought about getting Macy Candy Land but I am not sure if she is big enough for it yet?  My mom is getting her her first Barbie this year...lol I can imagine the look on my brothers face!  He is outruled in his house by girly girls and he is very much a guys guy lol.

    Not really!  My family (mom, sister, etc.) decided to just do gifts for the kids this year, so that takes a little of the load off.  I'll be back in Bmore in a few weeks, so I'll probably shop for my nieces then.  We also decided that w/DH's brothers, we'll just buy for the kids also.  So, really, we just have DH's grandparents and mom to buy for!

    I have started--but only b/c I am sitting at home on the computer whenever AC is sleeping. For parents and grandparents we are doing some 1wk pics of AC and a few little things. For AC, I got her a few pieces of Vera Bradley that was on clearance (since we travel so much to see family), a couple of outfits, and I am hoping to get her a rug for her room (I will leave all of the toys for the gparents). For my sister-I got a few pieces of Vera Bradley--again all on clearance. I have NO idea what I want to get dh...I would love to get a nice camera as a gift to each other, but he doesnt see the need for it...so I guess that is just at the top of MY wishlist. I am SO proud of myself b/c I never have any gifts this early!!

    does thinking about it count?

    I have one gift for my SMIL already but it was because it's a handmade cutting/cheese board and I "ordered" it back in June and picked it up when I went home for my shower. 

    I also have a gift for my little sister but I might give it to her for her bday.

    I have bought a pair of pj's for my baby cousin.  That's it though, I need to get on the ball!  We had family pictures made for my mother and grandmother, so I basically just have to worry about the kids now.  We'll see what they can conjure up for Aunt Lindsay to buy, lol.
