Thinking about Christmas...

It's November!
It's our family tradition to make a list for Santa around the beginning of November - right after Daddy's birthday. (Which was very nice - we went to PF Changs with the whole family and enjoyed mountains of Chinese noodles!)
This past Saturday, we had a family date to Toys R Us and Cold Stone Creamery. The kids were under strict instructions that we were not buying anything - just making lists for Santa. They were only allowed to put 10 things on their lists, and there would be no "Gimme, gimmes" or "You HAVE to buy this for me"s. They were awesome, and really concentrated on what would be their 10 things.
So without further ado, here are our lists.

Dear Santa,
We have tried really hard to be good this year. Here are the things we would like for Christmas! Thank you!

Ben's list
1. Lego Hagrid's Hut
2. Lego Wampa Cave
3. Lego Emperor's Shuttle
4. Lego Atlantis sets
5. Lego Hero William Furno
6. Lego Space Police Lunar Limo
7. Ben 10 figure set of Wrath and 6/6
8. Ben 10 Ultamatrix
9. Ben 10 Armadrillo
10. Ben 10 Ultimate Humongasaur

Alex's list
1. Swan Lake Barbie and DVD set
2. Disney's Tangled 2 ft long wig
3. Disney Princess makeup
4. You and Me Baby Doll
5. Barbie Newborn Baby Doctor
6. My Little Pony Mermaid Castle
7. Webkinz Amazing Hamsters
8. Paper Jamz Guitar
9. Wipeout for Wii

Audrey's list
1. "We Did It!" Dancing Dora doll
2. LalaLoopsy doll
3. Sweet Surprise Strawberry Shortcake
4. Polly Pockets
5. Dora Puppy game for the Wii

Side note for anyone actually looking to purchase anything for my children:
Ben is easy. Legos and Ben 10. Also, he's growing like a weed. If you are buying pajamas or shirts, go for a size 12 (he's in 10s now). Alex has been more difficult. She's all over the board. Please don't get her makeup! She's wearing 6X size clothes right now, and size 12 1/2 shoes. Audrey is easier - she STILL loves Dora! Santa has already found some PPockets for her. Audrey is wearing 4T clothes, but if you buy her pants - make sure they have an adjustable waistband - she's so skinny! We're going to be in Salt Lake for 4 months this year, so they can all use warmer clothes - like sweaters and sweatshirts. :)

What a fun idea. Jenna currently is asking for every toy she sees a commercial for on Nick- but she keeps asking for birthday presents... I've corrected her a few times and told her that maybe Santa can bring it. Aren't they fun at 3, when you can get them anything and they'll be happy? Good luck with no make up- and I kinda want that Tangled wig too ;)
