We kept things very simple because my mom will be spending Christmas with us and she will have several things to add under the tree! Between that and our wedding coming up we decided to keep things simple and well under budget.
I'm taking full advantage of the fact that he's only 1 and has no idea what's going on. The kid already has tons of toys & his birthday is 3 days before Christmas so he will get tons of stuff then from family.
We are getting DD a Cozy Coupe, Fisher Price Sea Creature plastic puzzle, and an Elmo plush doll.
I'm sure family on both sides will spoil her rotten with gifts!
And books...lots and lots of books. Books too old for her and books just right. My entire family is book crazy so her bookshelf in a few years should be interesting!

Lo's list looks like this:
Talking cube house
Leap frog music player
Bouncing tigger... he loves the commercials for this thing!
Disney train playset
A couple of books
Alphabet sorter
We also have some snacks and farm puzzles for his stocking
We have so many educational things for his age from ds1 that this Christmas is more for fun. Plus both boys can play with all of these things, so its win win!
