What are your kids getting for Christmas?

[ladybrady22]

There has been a great thread the last couple of years where people said what they had got for their dc. It was really helpful and gave me lots of ideas for my nieces presents. I have boys and am clueless as to what girls toys are suitable at different ages. Since theres no thread like this yet, i thought I'd start one :)

Ds 1(6)

Both boys getting bikes, age 7 & 2. So a gears bike as ds1 calls it and a balance bike for ds2.
