The Most Wonderful Time....

....of the year. Christmas shopping. Yup, I am thinking about it already. I even have done some of it. I am trying to spread out the expense this year by starting early and doing a little at a time. I pretty much have a million things I want to get Grace and can't think of a single thing for the twins. Grace keeps insisting that Santa is bringing them each a teddy bear so I guess that will be one thing on their list. Katie and I joked about wrapping up some old stuff we have in our playrooms and giving it to the youngest members of our family, lol. Like they would know the difference? :)

I usually try to do this from Santa:

Something you WANT:
Something you NEED:
Something to PLAY with:
Something to READ:

In addition I get one present from mommy and daddy and Christmas PJs that they wear on Christmas morning.

So for Grace-
WANT: Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty DVDs
NEED: Clothes
PLAY: (I think) Dora Digital camera
READ: Leapfrog Tag Jr Reading System

Other ideas for Miss G: Tag Jr. Books, Aqua Doodle, Zhu Zhu Pets and Accessories, DVDs (Toy Story 1-2-3, Cars, Beauty and the Beast), Squinkies, In My Pocket Friends, Princess or Tinkerbell anything: small Disney Fairy collection, small Disney Princess Collection, Pixie Treasure Dolls. See? The list goes on and on. She is at such a fun age to buy for and I walk the aisles of the Target toy department and want to get her everything. Speaking of Target, I am doing all my shopping there or through Amazon. I am boycotting Toys R Us, I have had one too many bad customer service experiences there and I refuse to give them any more of my money.

Okay, I know that Jillian and Lyla are seperate people and I should treat them that way but I mean really, they are only 4.5 months old. I am sure if I get them the same thing for their first Christmas they won't mind :)

For the Twins-
WANT: ??
NEED: Clothes
PLAY: Teddy Bears (as requested by big Sis)
READ: ?? I will most likely pick up a few board books to add to their collection.

Any other ideas would be appreciated, hahahaha. Can they want diapers? They definitely need them. 

And I am thinking about getting this wagon for all 3 girls. Because we are not enough of a spectacle in public, we want our own little Dawson train :)

Oops...I did it Again

Remember this picture?
Well, I did it again. I couldn't help it, the torture is tradition now :)
