Kid's Christmas Presents

I have 4 adorable babies to buy for every year for Christmas and EVERY single year I find myself in the toy section for hours. See, I had a very happy childhood and I can still remember my Christmas mornings like they were yesterday. I remember every single toy that changed my life.

 When I was 4, Santa brought me a LEGIT baby doll stroller and play pen. I say legit because they were the exact same as the REAL items, just doll size and metal. Santa didnt bring that plastic shiz. He knew my babies needed the real deal.

I thought I was the most LEGIT baby mama there ever was.

That stroller was strolled around our cul-de-sac until its wheels fell off. 

When I was 5, Santa brought me my very own pink Barbie Corvette.

It seriously changed my life. 

BEST present EVER.

I drove that baby til the wheels fell off too.

I wore some wheels out! ;)

When I was 6, Santa brought the most amazing pink Barbie bike with the caboodle and pompom handlebars.  The fact that it had a caboodle on the handlebars and pink pompoms made me the coolest kid on the block.

Until I ate shit on it for the first time.

Then I had the coolest parked bike on the block.

Standing next to it was much safer than riding it.

Without doubt my favorite presents of all time as a small child.

Which brings me to buying presents for my babies.

I put so much thought into what I get them because I remember how special those gifts were to me and I need them to LOVE their Christmas gifts just as much as I did!!

So today Christopher and I spent the afternoon at Toys R Us. 

I should start by saying that we both LOVE toys.

We went down every single item and picked at least 10 toys for each child. 

Remotes control cars in the basket, then out.

Barbies in the basket, then out.

Vicious little cycle I tell ya.

After way too much thought and discussion we finally decided on the following:

My niece is getting a remote control Barbie car, Ken doll with outfit change and 3 outfits for her Barbie!

  She's been dying for a car for her Barbies and Im pretty sure she'll love the remote control one!! I also decided she needed a Ken doll! Every little girl needs a Ken doll for her Barbies! Girlfriend must have one too!!

The twins and their little brother were the hardest to choose for.

We went from Hulk fists to interative Wii games to finally getting remote control cars.

With twins you always have to get them the same thing or there will be a "better" gift and one feels gipped. Ive learned to just get them the same item but different colors. I cant get them the same thing and their baby brother something different because Im afraid he will feel left out or different, so I get him the same thing too! Yes, that means 3 of the exact same gifts in the same house! 

This year remotes control cars and ruling the roof!

 

I know 3 things from today shopping:

1. I am officially old and no longer know what "in" in toy land.
2. When we have kids Chris will spend WAY too much money at toy stores buying what he wants them to have instead of what they want to have.
and
3. Shopping for little ones makes Christmas SO much more fun!!

What are you getting you little ones??
I wanna know!!
So dish!!
