The Gift List

I am pretty much DONE with my shopping (yay) and just wanted to share what I got the kiddos this year for Christmas.

13 year old:
*PS Vita (not bought yet but in the process of buying it and luckily the in laws offered to help split the price with us).
*2 pairs of shoes (which he desperately needs but will also like)
*Ecko Unlimited T-shirt
Stocking: chocolates, Uno? Haven't gotten any stocking stuffers for him yet.

6 and a half year old:
*Bicycle
*Ken Doll
*Barbie Tablet
*Styling Doll head
*A pair of boots
Stocking: 3 Monster High type mini dolls and Disney Princess wallet and watch and chocolates

5 year old:
*Bicycle
*Woody (he is going to freak)
*red Hulk
*Captain America Shield
*2 pairs of shoes
Stocking: Ben 10 wallet and watch and chocolates

Baby:
*Musical Glow worm
*Musical electronic book
*Bath time book
Stocking: Monkey teether rattle and bath toys

Notice the gifts aren't even this year.... mostly because Hubby went shopping on his own for the kids (he's the one that got the T-shirt and shoes).  I am going to leave it like this because I am not going to go broke trying to even things up.  For the older one, the PS Vita makes up for it and my daughter got more stocking stuffers.  And the baby, well, he's a baby:  he doesn't care.  Plus this does not include what my inlaws already got them.

Father in law (fil) got my daughter 2 Monster High dolls that she wanted.  Mother in law (mil) got her another doll.  Fil got my older son a bike.  Mil got my 5 year a few gifts, like transformer type toys and action figures.  And she got the baby a musical piano.  Fil got my 5 year old the four action figures he wanted plus a robot that moves.  I think my kids are all set for the Holidays.

Now that my kids are all set, I have to move my focus onto the other people I have to shop for.  Granted, I will probably be going over my initial budget, I still want to get a few people a few little things.  We have brother in law's 2 kids to shop for plus I have my Secret Santa gifts to purchase (2 kids and a mom).  And Hubby has to get a gift each for 2 angel tree kids from his job.  And in keeping with the charitable giving, I cleaned out my kids toy boxes last night, making room for their new gifts while making sure less fortunate children have toys for Christmas.
