One Year Olds

What is everyone getting (or already has) for OYO for Christmas??

Josh and I are still deciding but we have quite a few ideas - Santa already told us he is bringing her a baby born doll with many accessories :P

We are getting a jewelry box with many new necklaces in it (large plastic and wooden beads, she wears them already and LOVES them)
Bubble blower (the lid shuts when its tipped so no spillage!)

and we will get some of the following - not sure which yet :P
Toddler Camera
Toddler laptop
Learn to dress doll
This princess set thing (comes with a carry case that opens to a scene and it comes with a princess and a prince)
Plastic fruit and vege
Draw in the tub crayons
Little doctor set
and we *might* get her a trampoline.. but we wont be able to use it much until we move next year so we might leave it not sure yet :)

We have to do 8 gifts for Hannukah but our family tradition is one big thing and then 7 little things, and as Galete grows our plan is to do one big thing, 6 little things, and one charitable donation of her choice.  In any case, last year we did mostly things like books, clothes, crayons (her first set, that was an exciting one...), and new storage bins for her toys.  Yeah, OK, it sounds really sad, but mostly she just loved ripping into the paper!  And really, the crayons were a huge hit.  From the grandparents, she got a baby doll and stroller from one set and a play kitchen from the other, and she loves both.

 

  

I was just coming here to start a thead like this :)

We are also keeping Christmas small and low key since he's so young still and will get tons of gifts from everyone else and theres not really anything he actually NEEDS.

We got him a table and chair set, I figure he'll like to sit at it with the other boy I babysit for snack maybe.

I got him the v smile baby infant development system. Its age 9-36mths, so we're a little late on it, but I found it on kijiji.com and in not used, perfect condition so I didnt pay full price, so if he doesnt like it long I wont care :)

We also got books for him and a DVD (grammie and grampie are getting him a portable DVD player for the car for our 2.5 hr drive and 2 hr drive we take to visit them and nanny, lol)

I'll prob get a few more little things, but nothing big.

We got her tickets to go to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live as part of her Christmas present. We are also buying her a wagon with seatbelts that my aunt will pay for her as gift. We already got her some books. I don't have to overload on the toys because her birthday is only a few months later.
