What are you getting/thinking of getting for your Dec 07er this year?

I am at a loss with Leila! She LOVES the Iphone and the games so I am thinking some sort of handheld game device as the Santa gift. Any ideas for that??!?!

Else wise, she is getting probably some dolls, more animals, maybe some more stuff for their play kitchen, I don't know!!

For her b-day Becca is getting her own DS, and probably 1 game for it. I also want to get her something that she can play with that is not a video game. Not sure what yet.

For xmas I have four things on a list for each kid, might add on little things later on, but just 4 for each for now. Becca is getting a toy kitchen, a shopping cart, doctor set, and a camera. She'll have to deal with the orange one because the pink one is near $20 more? Don't know why lol.

Jen you should totally check out the new Leap Pad. It is basically and iPad for kids. It even has a camera. I think that is what we are going to get Elizabeth. You can put games and books on it.

I just found some super cute books for Elizabeth based on the Little House on the Prairie series. The illustrations are very nice (we have one already). I just ordered 4 more on Amazon. Right now you can get kids books buy 3 get one free.

The other thing I think I will do is an order of craft stuff from the Oriental Trading Company. They have fun looking inexpensive craft projects and also tons of stickers.

Other than that I'll be shopping the deals again this winter. I got some really good ones last year.

Cara that looks neat! That may be the one! However, do you know how the apps work? Like how much do they cost? It seems like you buy a $20 card but how many apps does that get you?!?!

I picked up some Tag Jr books for the kids on sale at one point and have them tucked away. I probably won't get anymore for it after this. They just aren't that into them.

So far Owen has the stand up car ramp thing and...lol I am too scattered!!! I feel like I have stuff put away but have no clue what or where.
