I looked up plans for a-frame tents (instead of going the teepee route) and we figured out our own measurements. And then I used hem tape instead of sewing the fabric. It was super easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-los-main-gift-be-this-xmas/page/2#post-1291872 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:53:56 +0000 fancyfunction 1291872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got her the Anywhere chair for her bday 2 weeks ago, so she's getting a bunch of smaller things from us like a zylophone, wooden blocks, play food, etc. But I know my parents already got her a PBK rocker, a Melissa &amp; Doug piano and God knows what else. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-los-main-gift-be-this-xmas/page/2#post-1291837 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 14:37:54 +0000 sunny 1291837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: LOL!

Who knows what the IL's will get, they go way overboard, but she's just a baby so hopefully they will keep it to a minimum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-los-main-gift-be-this-xmas/page/2#post-1291539 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 13:15:49 +0000 sorrycharlie 1291539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: check target for ariel! they have the set of all the princesses, but they did have the mini sets of 2 (beauty and beast, ariel and eric, etc.) - also I think TRU/BRU and WalMart have the princesses! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-los-main-gift-be-this-xmas/page/2#post-1291525 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 13:12:31 +0000 BoogieBea 1291525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are not getting anything big from us this year.

DS will then get the tractor/farmer set and DD will get the garden/fruit stand set. I figure since their birthdays are only one and three months from now we'll round out the rest of the FP farm set then :) I've got a plan you see ;)</p> <p>Not a hundred percent sure about what our parents and relations are getting them... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-los-main-gift-be-this-xmas/page/2#post-1291493 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 13:05:59 +0000 bpcmarj 1291493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her big gift (and really only gift besides clothes) is the Fisher Price Disney Princess Klip Klop Stable. She is going to LOVE it. I still want to get her another princess to go with it (probably Ariel if I can find it in a store nearby). ILs are getting her a Minnie Mouse chair and who knows what else. She also is getting a fancy baby doll from DH's best friend's parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-los-main-gift-be-this-xmas/page/2#post-1291444 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 12:57:20 +0000 beachbee 1291444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: glad I'm not the only one who regifts bday presents! :) LO's first birthday was in October and we only opened about a third of the gifts for her to play with. It's just so much stuff! So we've been saving the rest for her Christmas gifts. We also bought her a few new books and pj's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-los-main-gift-be-this-xmas/page/2#post-1291309 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 12:04:23 +0000 delight 1291309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zany zoo here too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-los-main-gift-be-this-xmas/page/2#post-1291274 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 11:53:35 +0000 littlek 1291274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: aww thanks!

I knew the extended family would spoil her so I didn't want to go overboard. My brother and SIL have got her a VTech sit to stand walker and I suspect that will be the big hit of Christmas for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-los-main-gift-be-this-xmas/page/2#post-1290996 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:46:27 +0000 lawbee11 1290996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents got her an anywhere chair, so that's her big gift.

Lemme know how he likes it, D wants to get E something similar for Easter. </p> <p>Eh...nothing big. We really don't have the space right now for anything big. I was going to get him a play kitchen anyway, but D begged me to wait until early next year, after we've purged our apartment some. </p> <p>I think his biggest thing from us is the little people farm, and my mom bought him a hug me Elmo thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-los-main-gift-be-this-xmas/page/2#post-1290941 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:25:56 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1290941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL is giving her a hand-me-down train table.<br /> My mom gave her my old set of Little People (house, store, school, firetruck, school bus, etc) </p> <p>We aren't really getting her much.

We have to get rid of a lot. He's off the next week or two, so maybe it's time we really get serious. I'll have to move my office down there once we have baby #2, so it's going to be a tight squeeze.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-los-main-gift-be-this-xmas/page/2#post-1290863 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:00:31 +0000 Bao 1290863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: You really should, we have a small playroom and it's nice to have a place to keep everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-will-your-los-main-gift-be-this-xmas/page/2#post-1290859 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 09:59:32 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1290859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: My family is huge and they go overboard, even on the bigger kids and adults.
