    I'm not sure what SS wants when it comes to big things. He got a DSi for his birthday this month, so we are hoping that keeps him happy for awhile! *lol*

    DD is too little (15mo) to want things for Christmas, but I know that my mom bought her a Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Kitchen playset that I'm really hoping she will enjoy playing with so I can keep her occupied while I cook dinner. :)

    I found a few Littest Pet Shop lots on E-bay for a good price used, so they are getting like 3 houses and 40+ pets. They are 4 and 2, so they just want whatever toy they saw a commercial for last. LOL

    Since my boys are grown...I really have no idea what to get them, and when I ask them, they tell me they don't need anything (except Eric who is 19)

    He probably needs clothes, but he could easily go another year without getting any. Three of them LOVE band shirts from Hot Topic...I always have to have them choose them though, or Eric is pretty good about choosing ones they'll like.
    They need socks, pj bottoms, underwear.
    I think they are all good on coats (sweatshirts are winter wear here)
    They all got slippers last year except Ryan...I might buy him a pair.
    I might get Eric a Kindle.
    Other than that, it will mostly be gift cards, movie tickets, that kind of thing. They can always use those!

    I bought my guy an xbox 360 and kinect bundle. I shopped around and found it $160 cheaper than the first place I approached :) So pretty happy about that. His birthday is just before xmas so I'm doing it all in one hit and will buy him a few games and fill a stocking with little things.

    My seven year old wants an iPod touch, which I thought was crazy. He plays on our iPhone all the time so we are debating this one. My youngest wants a new bike and an iPod, too.

    Paige asked for an American Girl doll and a bunch of accessories, she did get the doll, but only one extra outfit for it. She's been wanting one for the past two years for like every holiday, so I figured it was about time. Her twin sister, Taylor asked for a Kindle, lol. She is a big reader (takes after her mommy ;)). I am actually giving her mine and I upgraded, heehee. It's had a skin on it so she wont be able to tell plus we got her a cover for it. Umm...Haleigh asked for the American Girl Bitty Twins, so we got her those plus an outfit for each of them. Typically we don't spend that much on them, but my dad hates shopping so he gave us some money to put towards their gifts this year which helped. Other then that Santa will fill their stockings with little toys and treats. Matt and I aren't exchanging gifts this year other then the BluRay player we got on Black Friday and a handful of movies we got cheap which we are wrapping up as a family gift from Santa. We would rather the girls have a fabulous Christmas then spend the money on eachother <3

    My dad got Haleigh an ipod touch last year for Christmas (she was 6), she had originally asked for a Nintendo DS like her sisters, but I knew she wouldn't really play with it much. She uses the iPod ALL THE TIME! It's great in the car and any situation where there is waiting involved. It's a great educational tool too, there are so many fabulous educational games available these days :)

    ok.... I'm not making this up.... I keep asking my youngest what's the "big thing" he wants for Christmas this year (even though I've finished my shopping) and he keeps saying "I just want a big hug." Omg that kid is too sweet. And no... he's not starved for hugs... he gets 'em all the time. He's just one of the sweetest kids I've ever met! :beat:beat

    Jen that is flippin adorable!!

    My Step DD is getting the entire set of Wimpy Kids books plus the movie, a lava lamp, some itunes cards and some other small stuff. We just got her an ipod touch for her birthday so she said she needs cards lol.

    Seth (almost 4) is getting an iXL. I got a crazy good deal before black friday on it at Target. The thing sells for 79 but they had it marked down to 69 plus I have a 10 coupon and a 10 gift card. The we got him a couple DVD's (Kail Lan & Backyardigans) and some hot wheels for his stocking. He is crazy good with electronics so my MIL also got him one of the Sesame Street games for the Wii.

    The little Monster (1.5) is getting a play kitchen. Another crazy good deal from Target. 74 plus a 15 dollar coupon and a 5 gc I got when I bought the iXL. Then we got her some clothes and a few small toys for her stocking. My brother, who is overseas, bought her a couple food sets and some pans to go with her kitchen so she is good to go.

    I don't know why, but I love hearing what everyone is getting for Christmas. :)

    We do two gifts...one from Santa and one from us. Anakin (almost 11) is getting the Harry Potter Lego Hogwarts and one of the new Hexbugs Nano Habitats. Tristin (8) is getting an MP3 player (which is actually David's old one - he'll never know) and also a new Hexbug Habitat. Paxtin (5) asked for a "robot dog"...which I found in the clearance isle at TRU :) and he's getting the 3rd new Hexbug Habitat. They love hexbugs. :) Then, we do stockings...and I always seem to overbuy for them!!! I try to get one book, a candy, small toys... I loved stockings growing up.

    I finally went and did a little shopping. Eric (19 and the baby) will be getting a Kindle w/ accessories and then he also wants a Kinect. He already has the 360. He'll also get clothes (Hot Topic t-shirts, maybe nice jeans, jammie bottoms, socks, underwear...) and then we always get them Gift Cards for all the fast food places around, and wherever I know he likes to go eat or shop...just like $10 - $15 each gc.)

    Then, I have to think about what to get all the other boys! I'm stumped!! My 23 year old text messaged his oldest brother (27) who lives in Texas and pretended he was writing a letter to Santa. It went something like this: "Dear Santa, All I really want for Christmas is for my brother Ryan to move back home. If you could please bundle him up and drop him under the tree for Christmas morning, I'd be really happy!" My oldest thought that was the sweetest ever! Really though, everytime Ryan asks any of us what we want, that's what we tell him. It would make all of us really happy! :)
