I never thought about that!!!! Oh well, the grandparents are getting them anyways, I'm pretty sure they'll find somewhere to put it haha. </p> <p>We're doing the four gifts too...only thing I have so far is the need, a convertible carseat. I should probably figure that out, huh?</p> <p>We plan on visiting Santa this week when my mom is in town. The line at our mall is always out of control so I'm hoping and wishing and praying for a cooperative LO! I will totally be jumping all around too, @Espion: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holidays-with-our-junebugs#post-1252559 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 20:46:12 +0000 swedishfish 1252559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: Awww, cute! Maybe I will take R after all. I should take a day off of work to go during the day. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holidays-with-our-junebugs#post-1252495 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 20:18:18 +0000 Boheme 1252495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are doing 4 gifts - want, need, wear, read, like @tlcbaby: mentioned. For the want - Zany Zoo. Need - high chair. Wear -<br /> He outgrew all his jammies! So he'll get new ones.

The nursery where we got our tree had Santa in a sleigh. Even better, we hit right in between two rushes, so they let us take a whole different set of pictures until we got one we liked. I was jumping up and down and clapping like a loon to get him to smile!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holidays-with-our-junebugs#post-1252409 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 18:59:44 +0000 tlcbaby 1252409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had never heard of this until @grizz: mentioned it, but we are sticking with four gifts - want, need, wear and read. We plan to do this every year so gift giving never gets out of control. </p> <p>For the grandparents we are doing a little photo book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holidays-with-our-junebugs#post-1252312 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:58:51 +0000 Pepper 1252312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got him 3 toys, a stuffed animal, a chair, a book and some clothes. More than I was planning on, but it's stuff I've been collecting over the past few months.</p> <p>@Espion: We're taking him to the mall for pictures with Santa next week :) Going during the day to avoid any crazy lines... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holidays-with-our-junebugs#post-1252293 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:35:52 +0000 swedishfish 1252293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: no...I was thinking I probably should've done that before Thanksgiving to beat the rush. I'll probably skip it this year. Have you taken E yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holidays-with-our-junebugs#post-1252281 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 16:24:37 +0000 Espion 1252281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got both grandmas a photo book. There are some good sales going on right now. We're not getting E anything specific, since we buy random things for him anyway. He is getting a crib soon, so I guess there's that! </p> <p>Anyone take your baby to see Santa? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holidays-with-our-junebugs#post-1252167 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 14:17:55 +0000 swedishfish 1252167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: my in laws are getting R a 4 in 1 trike like this: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Radio-Flyer-4-in-1-Trike-Red/dp/B003AVIO4K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1385925435&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=radio+flyer+tricycle" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Radio-Flyer-4-in-1-Trike-Red/dp/B003AVIO4K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1385925435&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=radio+flyer+tricycle</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holidays-with-our-junebugs#post-1252093 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 13:00:42 +0000 knittylady 1252093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MIL keeps asking what's on his list! I need to come up with some more stuff.... I put the zany zoo on their and some smaller toys. Hmm. Maybe clothes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holidays-with-our-junebugs#post-1222153 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 14:26:58 +0000 swedishfish 1222153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got R an Oxo bib, Mozart Magic Cube, A&amp;A dream blanket, and books.</p> <p>She is possibly getting her grandparents a photo book. My sister picked up fleece material to make simple blankets for my parents yesterday that have grandma and grandpa themes. Just cut strips around the edges and tie - tada, a blanket! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holidays-with-our-junebugs#post-1222148 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 14:22:56 +0000 MoonMoon 1222148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll be visiting his parents for xmas,b then mine for new years! Excited and terrified for his first flights at 6.5 months!</p> <p>We also thought of ordering photo books for the grandparents. My biggest worry is how to convince our moms not to buy him too many gifts. Bah. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holidays-with-our-junebugs#post-1222139 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 14:16:24 +0000 knittylady 1222139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Checking in! What (if anything?) are you getting your LO's for the holidays? Are they getting their grandparents anything? </p> <p> I'm torn between a photo book, mug or ornament... I tried DIY salt dough ornament this week and realized his hands make ornaments that are too big and heavy to hang from a tree... d'oh! </p>
