Did your kids have a favorite present?

MommyToAshley wrote: Merry Christmas everyone! I had such a fun time watching Ashley open her presents. The wooden train and table was by far her favorite present. She ran to it right away, and then she would go back to it in between opening each present.

What was your child's favorite?


Here's a pic of Ashley with her train.

MommyToAshley replied:
Thanks. They look and feel so comfy, I wouldn't mind a pair myself. If I remember correctly, I bought them at Kohl's when they had their 50% clearance sale.

kit_kats_mom replied: I'd have to say the wagon was K's favorite so far. Followed closely by the kitchen, the leapfrog letters fridge thing, the aqua mat that Jenn's family got her, the sit and spin and the blocks.

She keeps bouncing around from toy to toy but the wagon has gotten the most attention of all.

mummy2girls replied: well jenna got so spoiled this year!!!!! Her favourites this year was ...the learning by music thing. And her dollies.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: OMG Emily went nuts when she opened her game boy advanced! She came running accross the room, she was hugging me so hard she was chocking me! Spencer loved his keyboard, but now has moved onto the Rescue Heros Command Centre that my mom and dad got him! Almost forgot Claudia, she is in love with this Tommy Dog that my inlaws got her. It barks when you walk it and cries (whimpers) when you stop. Everytime it whimpers she runs over and gives it a kiss.

kit_kats_mom replied:
LOL. K got that dang dog for her first birthday....he barks the BINGO song right? She loves that thing.

One bit of advice. Don't let Claudia bathe him. K threw hers in the bathtub awhile back and he's never been the same since. Silly dog will start panting and barking when no one is near him...it's vaguely creepy

Boys r us replied: Oddly enough, Braedon's favorite gift was a $10 Thomas the Tank engine train?!!??!?! Go figure He had a TON of new toys, including his ride on john deer tractor from Santa..but he liked a lil train that I put in his stocking that is so small it will fit in the palm of your hand!HAA
His little boy cabbage patch kid was a big hit too!

Tanner, he LOVED his Razor Rocket mini bike...they've all been outside riding it all day, it's so tiny...but it holds up to 220 pounds..so everyone who came over today had to take a turn on it.

He was pretty thrilled when he opened his new luggage once he found his disney world ticket and airplane tickets inside..but I think since it wasn't exactly tangible, he wasn't overly excited like he will be when we actually leave to go there next week!

MomToMany replied: Let's see:

Logan- his new Alan Jackson & Toby Keith CD's

Quentin- His "Bull's Eye Ball" game

Ethan- Batman Monster truck & his Elefun game

Hannah- Strawberry Shortcake books & her Cinderella puzzle

Kayla- her many Peek-A-Blocks & teething toys, not to mention trying to play with everyone else's stuff, LOL!

loveydad replied: Hen got a bunch of dvds that he really wanted.

I had bought a sort of little card table with spiderman on it and two folding chair for Vincent, and I decided to give it to him and Kel together. They loved that! They ate lunch dinner and snacks at it, and Kel sat and colored at it for a long time. THey also played with their Spiderman/Doc Ock walkie talkies for most of the day.

I went ahead and gave Tracy a three piece baby gear set. It's disney princess and it comes with a swing and a stroller and a highchair. She's been playing with that all day, she loves it! Also I got her that Graco baby doll with the booster carseat and she adores that. She keeps asking to go for a ride with it.

Nicky got a big 40 inch spiderman ball and a spiderman couch that he played with all day. He'd run and get his ball and go sit on his couch. The problem is that all the other kids wanted to play on the couch too!

Hen got Andriana this little chair. It's called the Princess Chair and it's pink and like a minature armchair. She loves that! Also she got a cell phone from me that you can record messages on, and she'd take it to Henry and he'd say "hi Andriana!" or something into it and she'd run around the house playing it back and just giggling for all she was worth. So cute!

Carter and Clara got those blue and pink and blue and yellow ride on/walker things? Carter things he's pretty big stuff on that. He was standing on holding on to it today. Clara really liked her clothes for some reason. She was really excited about her clothes and just sat there talking to them...It was a little creepy. On a side note, I'll attatch a picture of the rompers I order for them! So cute!

Henry got Peter that Learn and Groove saucer from Leapfrog. Peter's still kinda tiny for it but Hen propped him up with a towel and he played in that thing for a LONG time!

chloe&tysmommy replied: Both Chloe and Ty got spoiled this year too! Chloe loved the peek-a-blocks train that Ty got..... lol and her Dora and Strawberry Shortcake books...that's her two favourite characters

Ty just loved playing with the paper from the presents But he likes to watch Chloe playing with the train (it moves across the floor and makes noises)

edited to add: I love the train set you got Ashley for Christmas...that looks like a lot of fun

kimberley replied: cool train set! i want one too lol. Ashley is such a doll!

Jacob's favorite was his yu-gi-oh duel disk, James' was his wiggles guitar and Jade's was between her sound board and boooh-bah.

Josie83 replied: Casie loved the car thing we fgot her but she also liked the puzzles that she got - she made daddy sit and do them ALL with her at least once! And the books she got, she loved those to xx

ediep replied: J got so many toys and clothes but his fave is a set of mini pots and pans. They are very real looking stainless steel. Maybe he is going to be a chef someday!!

coasterqueen replied: I'm not sure what Kylie's favorite gift is. She's actually been playing with all of them: Whack a Mole game, her piano, her music set, watching her Shrek (favorite movie), reading her books, etc.

The two things I thought she'd really like were her play shoes which she really hasn't played with and her smaller legos. Oh well.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: That is a really cool train. Ashleys looks so cute in her jammies.

Jade got all sorts of stuff, but I think the Fisher Price little People Castle she got from my MIL is the big hit. Everything has been in that castle. She is also quite fond of the play Dirt Devil vacuum Tonya got her.

3_call_me_mama replied: Cameron LOVED his train set, but we were not impressed with it
It kept falling over which we wouldn't know until we tried to set it up christmas eve, the bridges didn't come with supports and we had to try and modify it. But he loved it anyway! So dee dee we have to ask.. what kind of train table did you get adn where did you get the ramped pieces for it.. we are going to exchange his or try to get some better ramps and bridges. But we figured we better at least set it up and have it there for the big moment in the AM!

favre4fan replied: The boys favorites were the model cars. They love putting those together.

MommyToAshley replied:
This is the train that we got, it is from Imaginarium

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00...arentingclub-20


We bought it when it was on sale, we got a pretty good deal for the table and train and all accessories in one package. It looks like they are out of stock, but maybe they will have more in stock soon. ToysRUs might carry it too.

MommyToAshley replied:
So you ended up getting her the piano after all? Did you get a toy piano or did you go with something a real instrument, an organ or something? I was wondering if Ashley would be interested in something like that, but she doesn't seem to care for the toy piano MIL bought her. But, she loves to play on real ones at the store. I don't have a clue how to play though.

Kaitlin'smom replied: what a cute train set...must have been fun to put together

Kaitlins favorites so far is her Little People, her baby with stroller, and her elmo blankie

she got soooo much that i did manage to put a few up in her closet, she also got tons of clothes

and to think tomorrow we get to do this all over with her birthday oy

coasterqueen replied:
Yeah we did get her a piano. It's a Schoenhut traditional spinet in black. I have a pic of it but haven't had time to download my pics yet. She seems to like it as does her father, lol. It's kiddy size but the keys are original size so she can learn on that one and go straight to a bigger one and the stretching of the finger space would be the same.
