Christmas Lists

Since drawing names last Wednesday, I've been thinking a lot about what people might want/need for Christmas.  I'm coming up blank.  Maybe we can all help eachother by listing things we have our eye on or some of our interests.  Also, if you have a little one that could use clothes, could you give the size needed?
Great.
This may be unconventional, and even uncomfortable to some, but I'd hate to buy something that would be a duplicate or unwanted.

Thanks!

Okay, so I'll go first:

Steven:
the game 'bakugon' or any bakugon characters
the book Eragon
anything StarWars

Anna:
clothes
cute shoes (size 2.5)
books (she loves Nancy Drew and Andrew Clements)
littlest pet shoppe stuffed animal


Becca:
Barbies (modest, if possible)
sleeping beauty with a horse
Princess anything
wand

Ellie:
says she wants 'a doll that goes potty and you brush it's teeth' Ew.
Also, she likes Barbie and 'those puppies that grow and know your name'

DISCLAIMER: I have no idea what these toys cost, but I'm sure it's more than the limit. Hopefully this will give you an idea of what sort of things they like.

I'll post Scott and my lists later.
Thanks.

Okay, here's me:

I'm a sucker for cute girly hair stuff and flashy jewelry!

Kristy said...

Tom wants a book called Hands-On Radio Experiments. That is the only thing I can get out of him.

Xander likes most things. He likes thinking toys that he has to do something to. Foe clothes he wears 18 months or 24.

I like pretty much everything. Books, movies, clothes. I have a list on amazon under Kristy Thompson Dixon.

Forgot--I would like a used microphone for my computer, to record voices for animatics and things. Nothing fancy, just something that will do a good job.

Adam said...

Didn't you want a Nintendo DS for Christmas, Heather?
