DS who is 7 we are giving him our old point and shoot Nikon that we haven't used in 7 yrs - there were some NB pics of him on there - LOL He is going to love having his own camera where he can take 100 pics of his lego creations

DD who is 4.5 only talks about princess make-up - I picked her up some of the Little Kingdom ones with nail polish and lip gloss - I think that will be her favorite

A duplo set that lets you build your own cars. He is obsessed with cars and duplo lately so I know he will be excited about it.

Xander's obsessed with Thomas, so we got him a bunch of wooden train tracks and a Thomas train (and Percy and Gordon), so I think he's going to love them!

Logan's not really going to care about the stuff we got him...

@regberadaisy: That's so cute!!!

We got him Magna-Tiles and a bunch of new match box cars with a carry case...I think he'll love both of those!

Disney on Ice tickets!

@Autumnmama79: Polaroid camera is a great idea!!!

So far she only has one toy- a tent! I think she will love it though. We got her a train she really wanted but already gave it to her!

@Greentea: She's super into taking pictures so I'm excited for her to receive it!

@Mamaof2: Gah! I'm thinking she'll go through them pretty quick too. I'm buying 2 extra packs so she'll have a stash of 30 to start. It will be a quick lesson for her to learn that its not like a digital camera that you can erase the ones you don't like.

They are on sale for $20 off at Chapters!

The Glitter Glider castle and magic clip dolls that go with it!

a baby doll and cradle is her big gift

Last year was the kitchen...hands down...I loved watching her light up with it!

This year her big gift is her kindle - I am unsure if she will go bonkers for it straight away...

We are giving her a Elsa Frozen Wand that she saw at her cousins house and was obsessed with...I am excited to see her get that again! She's just over 2 so her reaction is still somewhat unpredictable.

I really want to see her reaction the MagicClip dolls. I think she will love them once she gets what they are. But she better be excited about Anna doll she keeps saying Santa is bringing. We were done with her and had to go buy it.

@edelweiss: Haha, great minds think alike! DD is 6 and she's taken an interest in science so we're happy to encourage that! The one we got was at toys r us and it was on sale for 50% off. I can't recall the brand at the moment but it was around $26 after the discount. It comes with slides and a few other accessories. I think it'll be a great starter microscope and we'll see if her interest continues!

I am so excited about this play set we are putting in the playroom for both boys! It is their big present this year.

She keeps asking for this, but I'm more excited to play with it than she is! She may get to open it as an Advent calendar gift this weekend since DH has to work, but only if she continues to be good

@T.H.O.U.: I have ticket fast PDFs so I am going to make some fake tickets and decorate them with Frozen stickers!

I am also excited about a toy cash register from Ikea!

I'm just excited to see her face when she sees all the presents out on Christmas morning.

I think this is the first time DS will really understand presents so that's exciting. We got him a big tonka truck that he wouldn't let go of in the store so I think that will be a hit.

I'm not sure how much they will "get" Christmas this year at 19 months. I think they will like ripping up the paper. Their anywhere chairs will be sitting out and I think they will be excited for that, since they love their cousins' anywhere chairs. Other than that, I am most excited about taking them to Shedd Aquarium on the 27th with my family. Going to the aquarium was basically the best thing ever this summer and I think they'll like it better this time. We have been talking a lot about fish and penguins (of course!) and reading a Curious George book about the aquarium.

The Fur Real Puppy. She's 3 and actually asked for this. I was surprised she had something she saw and made a mental note to ask for.
Made gift buying for her this year really easy!

The FurReal monkey, it's the creepiest thing but she asks for it NON stop to everyone who will listen, so I know she will be stoked.

For DD2, Sofie the Giraffe, she puts everything in her mouth, so this is right up her alley
