Mom2Boyz replied: We've got Conner a Little Tykes slide. I have to pry him off of the one at the dr. office, so I'm pretty sure he'll LOVE it. We've also got him a teddy bear, bath crayons, puzzles, and an outfit.
And we've got Caden The Fisher Price Ocean wonders kick and Crawl aquarium, a teddy bear, a rattle, teethers, and an outfit.
We're not going to go ALL OUT on Christmas just yet. Conner is still happy with the wrapping paper, and Caden doesn't have a clue what is going on.
CantWait replied: Can you say TOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! I just started wrapping gifts today.
Robbie got lots of smaller stuff: Nickleback CD, some really cheap movies (VHS)($2.50 clearance), a dvd, 3 books (including Chicken soup for the Preteen Soul), 3 different card and dice games, a snow tube, LOTS and LOTS of clothes, and a spongebob clock, and from Santa he's getting B-Damen game (don't ask), and something else I can't remember, as well as a bag full of odds and ends for his stocking.
Anthonygot Dr. Elmo or whatever it's called, a doctors kit, a Home Depot BBQ, from Santa, 25 books or so  they just kept piling up, and a cash register, as well as his stocking stuffers. I know there's got to be a couple more things but I can't think right now.
I didn't realize I got the kids so much, but yet I still spent less then $200 each of them not including their stockings.

PrairieMom replied: The boy is getting ht My first leap pad, with an extra book, a computer game, and some tracks for his wooden train set.
We didn't get to much, becuase he usually gets so much he ends up bored with presents before he is done opening them!
MomToJade&Jordan replied: Let's see we got Jade a new bike (which is her big present), a pink panther stuffed toy (she saw one of his cartoons and said he was beautiful ), a couple of outfits, and a trunk of disney princess dress-up clothes and shoes. We didn't really get anything for Jordan. Our family has gotten her plenty and she is too little to really know what is going on. I can't wait for next year when she is older and can open presents.

punkeemunkee'smom replied: Well I am stressing because nooooooooo where near as much as she has gotten in years past AND the list has now officially changed she told Santa at the mall she wants a PINK ball (???) and that was all she was going to tell us because Santa would bring "the other one" and it is a secret!   I am just hopeful that it is something on the original list...  Sorry

Kaitlin'smom replied: The Dora Kitchen is her big gift, then we have, her 3rd orniment a couple DVD's nightgowns, clothes, tea set and a few little unusal things she asked for, pink washclothes, pink spoons. I tired to keep it reasonable since she will get tons more from family and friends. Plus her birthday is 3 days later.

MommyToAshley replied: I got interrupted when I was typing Ashley's out last night, so I will post it now.

--Princess hopper (we called them hobbity horses when we were young. Round ball with a handle that you jump on)
--A game and books for leappad (MIL got her the leappad plus writing)
--New tea set (she has one but it is only for four people and her playgroup is 6 people so they never have enough to go around)
--A few books and puzzles
--Dress up clothes and jewelry
--A couple DVD's
-- Cash register with money (She loves to play shopping and is learning about money and their values)
--Trumpet (MIL got her a drum from Santa)

And some small things and some stocking stuffers. Way too much ... but, they are only little once, right?

That's the truth, Dee Dee. I have a ball shopping for Corey, but not much joy or fun in buying a memory upgrade for Alec's pc, which is what he wants!
coasterqueen replied: Kylie: Art desk and art supplies; Digital Camera; Read w/me DVD
Megan: Little Tikes Push Doll Walker, Fisher Price Treehouse, Little Tikes piano
Both girls got some pj's and clothes that they actually needed weeks ago but I held off for Christmas.
Then they both got stocking stuffers.
I'm not sure what all I bought for the stockings because I had them done over a month ago.
Then they each got each other something but I can't even remember what that was.
Also daddy got the girls one thing since he's been away all this time. He got Kylie a Disney Snowglobe (I think Snow White) and he got Megan a Vermont Teddy Bear and blanket that says her name and "Daddy loves you" on it.
3_call_me_mama replied:
The factory where they make those is 40 minutes form my house.. it is the neatest thing to tour. I went there this past week to get a bear for our exchange student (who is now back home in Germany) Great gifts!!
coasterqueen replied:
Oh how cool! Kylie got one for her 1st Valentines Day from a friend. Come to think of it I don't even think she knows it's on her shelf. Who knows if she'll get attached to the bear but it will be a great keepsake. She'll definitely get attached to the blanket because Megan is our blankie girl. 
My3LilMonkeys replied: I haven't even started shopping for the girls yet. This year $$ is tight so we are buying all their Christmas presents with my bonus that I am getting on the 22nd so I will shop on the 23rd.

I'm heading there at the end of this week, I hope the staff can help me out with some good ideas - they've been great in the past coming up with some unusual ideas!
Good luck getting everything done everyone! Happy holidays.
