What are you buying your kids for the holidays this year? Are there any must-have toys on your list? I figure we can all get ideas from each other.

So far the favorite thing I have gotten for Ronald is a helicopter by V-Tech. You can pull it, put balls in it, push the buttons and it teaches sounds and colors. It is very cute. I also got him a push/ride on hippo that eats blocks. It is very cute, and I figure that way maybe he can be of some help picking up his toys once he starts walking better. Is that just wishful thinking?

There are two gifts for Amelia that I'm really excited about this year:

She is also getting a middleton baby doll (from belk), and a bunch of little stocking stuffers.

We celebrate Hannukah too, so she's getting lots of little gifts for that.

Here is a nice site where you can find almost everything kids and parents would love to have!

Anyone picking up the Wii gaming system? I heard they are super hard to find.

Not this year, and never again. I tried to find one for my step-brother last year and couldn't. I stood in line for 2 hours at Walmart while 7 1/2 months pregnant. Would you know I was 15th in line, and they only handed out 8 systems. Aparently they had a shipping problem last year. I was soooo mad. There were 75 people in line by the time they started handing them out. And they wouldn't tell us they only had 8 of the systems. I couldn't bring myself to go back into Walmart for 5 months afterwards.
