I know we have a "what are they playing with" thread, but I am curious what other kids have asked for for Christmas. Mine circled everything in the Target toy catalog, but have consistently asked for Figits (both), Lalaloopsy stuff (Grace), and some ultimate Transformer (Connor). We are also getting them a wii and games. What does everyone else have on their wish list??
Koda: remote control helocopter, K'nex, model airplane, guitar, playmobile pirate ship (we need another freaking toy ship like a hole in the head.)
Tristen: Up until less than a week ago, all he wanted was "chuck stuff" Chuck trucks. So, I had been slowly picking things up on clearence. Guess who decided this past Sunday they don't like Chuck anymore. Shit. We even tried to sort of trick him and said "oh, so we can give away all the chuck stuff you already have?" His answer "Yup!" Toys for tots might score off of us this year, I can't return the stuff. Ive had some since July. Now he wants: Knex (not going to happen- I'm trying to convert him to Duplo Thomas set), Cars Cars, and whatever else Koda is asking for on that particular day, lmao.
We're hitting an age that I'm not going to be able to clearance shop months in advance anmore :(
Adorably, Koda said we HAVE to buy a present for the new baby so he/she doesn't feel left out even though the baby is still in mommy's stomach. Baby is getting a box of diapers ;)
Im struggling with this. It seems to me like the lamest thing (sorry peeps that are on board) and is getting very mediocre reviews. But, if its THE toy she wants, I should make an effort right? I just think she will be so disapointed once she has it, and I know she will be so disappinted if she doesnt get it. I am hoping she forgets about it....
Im struggling. Who would have thought that at age 6 I would think she was too old for most of the girl toys out there? But, she really wants TOYS for christmas still I know. So, probably more "crap from China" as my husband likes to call it...lol.
I am scouring these threads for ideas...
Rhys is so easy. Legos, star wars, typical boy stuff. Oh, and he wants a skateboard. Yes, at 3 1/2. He has been wanting one for months.
Ivy wants some Barbie stuff - she loves the pretend ones, ie. Barbie as Art teacher and the Vet one. I am going to get her the Barbie camper too and a dollhouse big enough for the Barbies. Those are her big gifts. prob some art stuff too.
Joe wants a remote control airplane - not sure how I feel about this as we have already been through 3 of those little remote control helicopters and I don't see this going any better.
Bel has requested a paint set. I think one of her things is going to be a baby doll version of the baby bjorn carrier thing, she would get a kick out of that. I guess I should go Xmas shopping soon.
Mary Beth and Katie want everything they see a commercial for on tv, so I have no idea what they REALLY want.
I've bought them a few things that they've said "I want that!" to during commercials - Scrabble Scoop, Hungry Hippos, Playdough dentist, muffin dolls...
I also bought them each a Pogo Ball! I'm most excited about that one.
Mary Beth does seem to genuinely want an Easy Bake Oven, but I don't want to have to deal with that, so I'm going to have my mom get her one and keep it at THEIR house. :)
Kyle: Nintendo 3DS w/Pokemon Rumble Blast game, Pokemon cards...he's mentioned other stuff, but these are big on his list
Kevin: Knex Mario kart racing track, superhero squad wii game...I'm surprised he hasn't been as adamant about a list as Kyle, and he's always so thoughtful to think of what Kyle might like to play with, too. I tried telling him he can tell Santa what HE wants and not to worry about Kyle. I'd really like to get him a nice art/drafting desk, but I think he'd be more excited about toys right now.

Mark wrote down his list. I need to take a picture and post it. I don't remember it all offhand but it had--remote control robot, ball, whistle, Smurfs movie, flippers (the swimming kind), and slippers.
Henry wants an ipod touch, Boy Meets World seasons 5 - 7, the "Secret Garden" movie, a "real" pool table (which he switched to air hockey table the other day), and money.

Um hello?
You hAve 3 kids!!! ;)
LOL!! Katey doesn't have a wish list yet.
As long as she has Mommy she's happy. And I'm sure she'll have fun playing with all the boxes and wrapping paper. :)
I am going to get her a piano kitty keyboard from target, and maybe an Elmo DVD or two. She loves Elmo, and she loves singing.
There is always have an extensive list but we ultimately decide.....and we do an angel tree gift. We don't want them to lose sight of what Christmas is really about...
Colin: Lego Star Wars. That's all he wants. Lego, Lego, Lego. :)
Adelaide: My Little Pony and La La Loopsy (or Ya Ya Yoopsy as she says it..LOL)..she just likes dolls period.
What we have gotten her is a few ponies that she doesn't have (she has the main 6 characters) and the Fisher Price Loving Family Grand Dollhouse and mom/toddler and dad/daughter so far. Going to do some other furniture sets as we find them.
For Colin, we're getting him lego star wars set, the Lego Harry Potter Wii games, and probably a new game for his DS. :)

Christopher has been asking for roller blades since summer. We told him that we would consider getting it for him when he turns 7 but we decided to surprise him and get them for Christmas. He will be soo excited.
He also needs a new (bigger) bike but we are going to wait till his birthday for that one.
He is not into any particular toys atm. He is into sports (swimming and ice hockey) and activity books. He also likes bugs so we are getting him ant farm gel colony, new bug catchers and remote control spiders that crawl on the ceiling and walls. He will love racing them lol
He also wants an electric scooter but we think that he is too young for it so we will wait till next year for that one too.
It is truly a weird year here. I mean normally they say that they want this or that, but not this year.
mine too - seriously wtf?? they circled everything in the catalog, but then when it comes down to it, they keep saying they each want a christmas ornament. ???
raymond finally asked for something. He asked for cars roller skates. Ive already got him a ton but feel like since its the only thing hes asked for I should get it but then Id have to get rollerskates for everyone.
He hasnt mentioned them in a day or so so maybe ill see if it fades.

Lucas is Colin's twin... but he wants everything Lego Hary Potter.... Lego Harry Potter Sets, the new Lego Harry Potter wii game, Lego Harry Potter board game.
Does Colin have any of the lego "board" games. Lucas has a couple of the smaller ones and they are REALLY cool.
