  I think I've got the girls covered. It's everyone else I still need to shop for. I have very few ideas for my husband and he hasn't really given me any. Ugh.
  
  Here's what DD2 is getting from us:
  Bitty Baby Twin and diaper bag with accessories
  Melissa and Doug pizza set
  Melissa and Doug cookie set
  PJs
  Books
  Despicable Me Blu-ray/DVD

  So far we have:

  
  

  Play kitchen

  Radio Flyer Tricycle

  Mega Blocks table

  
  

  Some things will be for DS's birthday, and some for Christmas. I also plan to get some food/accessories for the kitchen and some books and puzzles. Plus DH has his heart set on buying DS a mini Buffalo Sabres hockey set. It's not really age appropriate, but DH is in love with the thing.

  
  

  DH's niece and nephews are done since we did Christmas with them over Thanksgiving. We still have to do shopping for our parents and my niece and nephew. I have no idea what to get anyone, and the idea of walking around the mall makes me shudder right now.

  We are doing mini baseball mitt/ball, CAT mega blocks set from Costco and Mickeys Christmas Carol movie for bday. For Christmas DH built a train table (grandparents providing trains), knee hockey set, airport toy we couldn't leave Costco without, some clothes, variety of books, Planes, 101 Dalmations, Melissa and Doug reusable sticker book and some more animals for his FP zoo. Stocking is trains and little wheelie cars.
  
  Glad to have him done! Now if only my nephews would tell me what they want I could be done!

  I stayed about right on budget for DS. I am done shopping for him. We bought an art easel and table and chairs from IKEA. He is also getting a Thomas and friends chair for the living room, a play grill with play grilling food, a doctor toy set, some small cars and a box for them to fit in, and a small circus tent. All of this was on sale.

  We didn't really have a budget set, but we did really good this year! We just finished birthday and Christmas yesterday. He's getting a little ride on ATV, a chunky Lego table, Ikea cars and stacker, a mini train, puzzle, a play cell phone and an old school chatter phone. I'm going to Target this week and I think I'm going to buy a family present of pajamas to open Christmas Eve. I told DH about a family present on Christmas Eve but didn't tell him what it was to keep the surprise and he said it was dumb and we can't open presents til Christmas morning. I'm doing it anyways, we're starting our own tradition!

  I bought DS pajamas for Christmas Eve last year, and did it again this year And a new Christmas book to read before bed that night! I think it's a cute to have a little thing the day before. When I was a kid we opened at least one present the night before.
  

  I like this tradition a lot too, @T you should definitely do it. I've been thinking about doing that too! Growing up we could pick out 1 present to open on Christmas eve, I like that one too but DS is too young to understand right now and DH is anti opening before Christmas

  We also did Christmas Eve Jammie's when I was a kid. I added to that and do a movie, popcorn (or another snack) and cider or hot cocoa stuff. We watch the movie that night, it's been a fun tradition so far!
