Fancy sharing what your dc's are getting this Christmas?

[gill1978]

There was a great thread last year where everybody wrote what there dc's were getting for Christmas. It was so lovely to read everybody's lists and helped with inspiration for presents for my nieces and nephews when I had no idea what kids of their age would like. I can't see a similar thread this year so thought I'd start one.

My two are getting:

Ds1 (4)

Smokey the fire truck (thanks to Milkshake for that one!)
Cars 2 colour splash speedway
Cars 2 backpack
Mr men book
Pack of two playmobil firemen
Cars 2 playing cards
Selection box

Ds2 (3)

Leapfrog tag and 2 books
Cookie the friendly pup
Cars 2 backpack
2 Spot books
Small playmobil set
Selection box

Also, the dog is getting a chicken filled bone and a squeaky steak

They will get one other present from GPs but otherwise all of it comes from us. They'll each get a stocking too with pants, socks chocolate coins etc - mainly stuff they would have gotten anyway but which is much more exciting when it's come out of a stocking!

Anyone else want to share their lists?

They will also have a few little stocking fillers like chocolate, a magazine, box of cereal, school supplies and a Christmas eve hamper.

I know this is a lot but in our defence, we've had no holiday this year and the dcs don't get pocket money or things throughout the year. The older two need laptops for school work and Ds2 is dyslexic so hopefully the iPad will be useful for him.
