Re: Christmas Presents - What Are You Getting the Kids?
Their "Big" gifts are a Step 2 vanity for DD and a Step 2 workshop for DS.
I am also putting a craft kit together for them. I have just gotten started with the other stuff so far I got DD a Melissa and Doug harmonica and some ballet clothes for DD and I got DS that popup toy that you press the different things and something pops up- he always plays with this at other kids' houses. Oh and a Melissa and Doug birthday cake set for a "together gift."
Stocking stuffers so far are glow sticks from Target $1 spot, colorful socks, m&m's and hershey kiss candycanes, hairclips (DD), new toothbrushes.....
DS is 18 months.
In his stocking we are putting pipe cleaners (to use for art projects), stickers, an octupus bathtub toy, a little tiny forklift car, these cute dress up play glasses (because he loves wearing ours and playing dress up), and a beading set.
We also got him a numbers wooden puzzle that we will wrap.
Every year we wrap a book and put it at the end of his bed. This year it is 'Wolves in the Walls' by Neil Gaimen
And we are turning the stand by the door into a shadow puppet theater for his big present! DH bought his those little figurines for it as well.
The girls are 2 and (almost) 4.
Santa is bringing them a dollhouse.
My parents are getting them a puppet theater and puppets (DD1 has been dying for this!!!)
Other gifts:
movies, zhu zhu pets/puppies, they're each getting a doll, PJs and some books.
Oh, and DD2 is getting a Geo Trax set that I got on super sale on Amazon for $39.

DD will be 3 in Jan: she isnt the "girliest" of girls...
We told the family to aim for Lego's, and thomas the train stuff, even though she is a girl, she loves these things.
I fell in love with some Mellissa and Doug brand things today at TRU. A little jewelry box, a wooden handle mirror and a miniature vanity that can be set on a shelf. All are purple and pink, and come with stickers and sticky back "jewels" to decorate them. I want to decorate them for her from santa. hehehehehe
And she loves hot wheels too. so those will be simple stocking stuffers with her fav fruits like a pear, orange. a new book or two, and one movie? maybe a jewel charm necklace for her new jewelry box.

DH is building a dress up center, kind of inspired by this one:
For Alaina, I've bought a bunch of smaller things from walmart, target, and joanns. dress up things, princess and dora bath and toothbrush sets, little art kits, socks, tights, underwear, some outfits.
I bought ornaments for both girls, some outfits for Layla, and I'm making both a christmas quilt. I need to figure out some more things for Layla to wrap up - not because she knows the difference (obviously, she'll be in the hospital and two months old), but because Alaina is really into Christmas and is making santa requests for her sister, too.

DS1 (age 3): Smart Cycle Racer with the Toy Story 3 game, 2 sets of Lego Duplo blocks, 3 books for his Tag Reader. He saw a Melissa & Doug construction dress up kit at the store the other day and was flipping out excited about he (he is obsessed with Bob the Builder), so I think I'm going to get that for him as well.
DS2 (age 3 months): Rattles, My Pal Scout, a mirror thing with toys on it for tummy time, a v-tech book thing (can't remember what it's called), and some teethers. I figure he doesn't need much this year!

Julia is getting a bike with training wheels, the game "Trouble," and a barbie doll
Emma is getting a rocking horse, a Tangled barbie doll and fridge letter magnets
Distributed between the stockings will be some triangle crayons, chalk for their easel, bubble bath and bath fizzies.
@ I'm thinking this is our last year of believing since Santa will not be providing these.
So, we've picked out the following...
From Santa- New Bike, Uggs, some games/art supplies and I'm also thinking about getting her this life-size clothing design kit I saw on Design Mom today. It's pretty farking cool. You get to design dress up clothes!
From us- new real guitar since her uncle broke her old cheap one trying to tune it, plus actual guitar lessons, a couple of outfits, summer camp {I get her camp supplies/clothes to remind her what a nice thing it is LOL}, and some odds and ends. In her stocking will be a James Avery charm for her bracelet probably and some gift cards from Apple and various places.
ETA-She's 7.5 on Christmas Eve
DS 3: Rockstar Mickey, leappad, glow crazy writing pad?, yahtzee jr, erector set, home depot leaf blower, rock'em sock'em robots, nfl blanket, character pj bottoms...a bunch of other stuff I can't remember right now.
DD is older, but her big gift is a tablet.
DD1 is 2 yrs 10 months, DD2 is 16 months
We are getting them lots of books (DD 1 is currently in love with the Little Critter series, so a few of those, along with a few Tag Jr. books and some other random ones), and a few wooden puzzles. I found this cute wooden/magnetic dress up doll thing for DD1, kind of like paper dolls but sturdy. A few board games (DD already found Candy Land in the car, so I let her open it.) We also bought Chutes and Ladders and a new Memory Game. DD2 is getting a toddler purse with the fake credit card, make up, etc. We have one already, but the girls fight over it.
We bought them some M&D art supplies, and FIL and SMIL are getting them more M&D wooden food for their kitchen (they asked what they wanted and I pointed them toward our Amazon wish list.)
DH picked out a Little Tikes (sp?) basketball hoop for them, along with a box of matchbox cars to put in DD1's stocking. She loves cars, and he likes to pretend he has a son.
Besides the matchbox cars in their stockings, they'll get new toothbrushes, baby bottles for their baby dolls (you can never have too many in this house!), a coloring book, and probably some yogurt melts.
DD will be about a year and a half.
From Santa she is getting a play table and 2 chairs from Ikea. DH is going to make a bench to go with it, but that will probably not be done by then.
From us: M&D Band in a Box, several puzzles, some books and possibly a bead maze to put on her new play table. I know MIL is getting her a tea set and maybe making a table cloth for her playtable to use during tea parties. I also know that my Aunt is getting her a little lion chair.
DD is 17 months.
3 Gifts from Santa:
1. FP Little Mommy Cradle
2. FP Little Mommy High Chair/Swing/Car Seat
3. Undecided
From Us: I am making her a new Bow Holder from an idea I got on Pinterest, her yearly ornament, and possibly something else.
Stocking-Magnets to play with on the fridge, The Dirty to Clean Cabbage Patch doll, hair bows, art stuff.
I know for sure my Dad is getting her the Step 2 Play house, he got an awesome deal on it at Sams Club, if anyone is looking for one I think he said it was 80 bucks this week.
Those vehicle books are so cute!
DD 23 months: doll house, baby doll, dress up shoes, marble maze for stocking, black puppy either stuffed or electronic, Barbie clothes
DS 5 years: play kitchen (upgrading our old one), play dishes, liquid water colors (the color is a lot more vibrant), art books, Mommy and me journal, thankful journal, weaving loom
DD will be 4 in January.
Her big present is a train set because she is obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine. So we got her a wooden track set, the shed, gates, and about 7 of her favorite engines. When I asked her what she wanted from Santa other than trains, she will always reply just trains. So I guess everything else is just gravy!
We are also getting her new jammies to open Christmas Eve, a few books, the game Trouble, US puzzle, the new Winnie The Pooh movie. In her stocking she gets a shirt, some candy, a coloring book, chapstick (she loves having her own), a couple of matchbox cars, and an ornament.

DD is 3.75
She's getting...

Maeve will be 23 months- Her big gift from Santa is the Elmo Rocks doll. The ladies on my local board raved about it and said it's perfect for this demographic. Plus, she went batty for it at Target when we bought it.
Moira is 3 3/4- She is asking for a real drum kit, and God help me, we are buying it for her. She loves musical instruments, and has been attempting to make her own drum kit w/her little drum, tamburrines, & she uses her harmonica for a foot pedal.
From us, we got them tickets to the Laurie Berkner Live show! I'm so stoked to see them see the show! I know they're going to LOVE it!!

All three girls get a new set of pajamas on Christmas eve to wake up in for Christmas day and they all get to pick out a new ornament each year for the tree.
The girls big present this year is an outdoor playset/swingset for the back yard. We live in FL and can use this all year (well they don't use it much in the hot sticky months because they attacked by mosquitos) especially this time of year when it is nice out.
I am only getting them a couple little gifts like new pjs (they are going through a growth spurt) and art sets from Crayola. Just so they have some things to open under the tree Christmas morning. My BFF's from high school and I get together with out kids and have a gift exchange for the kids, so they will get more to unwrap from them and other family members. But from us not so much since the playset will be close to $600.
