It is pretty big and takes up a LOT of room, but I'm so glad I ordered it. It's a great way for them to burn off some energy (it was raining here on Christmas day) when they can't/won't go outside. The girls love their Squinkies and doll house and stuffies. DS loves all video game related gifts and all things Lego. Everyone has been playing with the Citiblocs we got (they were clearanced at Toys R Us) including the adults and teen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one know of any deals? DD4; superstructs pinklets and her bumblepee pillow pet. DD18months--whatever anyone else is playing with. She does love her sleepy time Scout though.

Mommy22alyns Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 My girls love the Barbie guitar (that I got for free at TRU, interestingly enough!). One will play the guitar and the other one puts on the headset & microphone. They're hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_girls_mommy Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 American Girl dolls and stuff and My Generation Dolls and stuff. Some they already had, some they got for Christmas and some they bought with their Christmas $ from Gma. That and art supplies. They stop with the dolls every now and then to come paint and craft something. And my dd8 LOVES her new P.J.s, seriously. Every time she puts them on she tells us over and over how much she loves them, and that they are her favorite P.J.s she has ever had. Just plain ole jammies from Walmart, but she loves them.

ocelotmom Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 DS: MP3 player and audiobooks DD1: Littlest Pet Shop stuff (she didn't get much of it for Christmas, but it's an ongoing obsession) and some decks of color and number flash cards. She's constantly asking us to play games with them, and falls asleep cuddling them. Both are also pretty into the new Leapster games they got, and I'm not sure their new slippers have left their feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachGirl Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 A Lanikai tenor ukelele. I didn't know what to do as her big present and she didn't ask for anything so I guessed. She has two friends with ukeleles and she mentioned how much fun it was to play theirs. Her grandfather used one in concert so it fits the family theme also.

Tree House Academy Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) My ds7's big TOY hit was his Dragonoid Colossus Bakugan. However, I got a new kitty from the humane society on the Sunday before Christmas and that has been the true "can't put it down" hit around here! Ds11 loves his beyblade set.

Jen in PA Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 DD: Our Generation Doll from Target plus her stack of new books. Doll and girl have spent a lot of time cuddled up reading. DS: Marvel Heroes: Greatest Battles -- a little DK paperback that he just seems to have in hand all the time! This is a big (and pleasant!) surprise for me. Both: Hex bugs battle bridge habitat. This is the can't put down toy here this year (even for me and DH!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 My 12yo has spent a lot of time working on her Lego Taj Mahal. She can't work on it continuously because her fingers start to get sore after a while. This kit is so big that it has 3 instruction booklets. She's finished the first one. I had to find a fishing tackle box and several small parts storage thingies to sort the pieces into. We have them all over the ironing board. I'm not sure whether or not the pictures managed to attach. My 17yo has mostly been playing Portal. My 15yo has been deeply entrenched in Harry Potter and Philosophy.

Aubrey Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 2yo & 3yo--Leap Frog # phone--from mom 9yo--knex roller coaster--from bil 7yo--hmm...I found out this AM that she'd already read all the books she got for Christmas, & I never saw her pick one up! (But I've been sick the last 2 days, so who knows.) I think it's the set of walkie-talkies from bil that allow her to feel like she's still playing w/ 9yo even though he's totally engrossed in the knex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Dd11-Klutz Paper Fashions, microscope Dd7-Air Hogs Pocket Copter, Bop It game Both: Snap Circuits, Motorola walkie-talkies Everything was a hit this year, but these were the BIG favorites!

5wolfcubs Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Great thread! I've added several things to my Amazon wishlist! DD1yo: FurReal kitten (meows when you press its back) DS10, DS8, DS5 & DH: Munchkin card game (I DO NOT recommend if you are conservative with games, language, humor, etc) DD16 & DD14: They are in Europe with my parents, but I'm guessing it is the replica sword they bought themselves!

Alphabetika Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 My dd16 received the novel Never Let Me Go from dh, after they saw and greatly enjoyed the movie. She read the whole thing on Christmas Day. My dd12 is glued to her new Archeology Study Bible. Dd1 is in love with this horrible doll my mom gave her - it giggles maniacally when you press its chest. She is also very fond of a vintage wooden stacking toy I gave her. Yes, I have odd kids. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 My 2-yo and 4-yo (and even the 6yo and 8yo) love the Melissa & Doug cupcake and cookie sets we got for the youngest. :) "Mommy, I go cook!" My 10yo loves her new Star Wars game for the Wii. Wii Fit Plus is a hit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Ds (14)- books. "The World's Greatest Book of Incredibly Useless Information", and " The Hunger Games" series. I got up at 3:30 am this morning to take some ibuprofin, and his light was on. I thought he fell asleep reading. Nope, I walked in and asked why he was still awake at 3:30. He looked at me, and said " It's a REALLY good book!" I closed the door and went back to bed. :D DD#1- her sansa clip Mp3, and DD #2- books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renthead Mommy Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Nerf battle ax. He's slept with it every night. Christmas night, as he was getting ready for bed, I found it tucked in, ax head resting on his pillow, covers pulled up. He fixed the bed for the battle ax. He doesn't even fix the bed for himself!

KS_ Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 This was actually an after Christmas present because it was on sale at Amazon and had great reviews - we've had it 2 days now and the kids *love* it. It's been a much bigger hit than any other Wii games we have (or have rented): http://www.amazon.com/Active-Life-Explorer-Mat-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B003LDKH2E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1293729820&sr=8-1 It's very active - and unlike some of the other Wii games that you can sit and move the remote, this one requires a lot of moving and running, etc. I highly recommend it and it's still on sale!

vonfirmath Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Originally it was the marble maze game But as soon as the Cranium Hullabaloo game got opened and my son (3) saw what it actually was... that is the game he can't put down. We were up this morning playing it as soon as I got out of my shower! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladydusk Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 M-girl: doll with long hair that needs brushed, "blow dried", hair accessories and all the clothes my mom made her.
