Dear Santa

We've started a new tradition of taking the kids to the stores and letting them take pictures of the things they want for Christmas. Of course, there are a few things we send only to Santa.

PEARL
Pearl is at an age where pretty much anything is "exactly what I wanted." Which helps everyone out because you really can't go wrong with her. Here are some of the things on her wish list:

*American Girl Bitty Twins Starter Collection (SKU G2261.3B/3G). A girl and boy baby doll with blond hair and light skin that happen to look an awful like Pearl and Cole. The starter kit that she wants has a carrying case, extra clothes, diapers, and a book.
*American Girl doll with light skin, short blond hair, and brown eyes. She looks a lot like Pearl. But of course Pearl wants to have the accessories too... a bed, clothes, a puppy, etc. Of course the American Girl dolls are kind of pricey so I'm sure Pearl would be happy with any dolls if they came with all the baby accessories to feed, clothe, sleep them in. For example, the other day we got a Pottery Barn Kids magazine in the mail and she said she wanted the Sophie doll with the wardrobe collection, bed, high chair, etc.
*Games like Chutes & Ladders or Candy Land.
*Play-doh sets*Tag books (she already has Rapunzel, Madagascar penguins, Tinkerbell, and I think Princess and the Frog but I can't remember for sure)*Doll house
*The movie Rio
*Hideaway Hollow toys (she has the Maddy Montgomery, Tommy's Treat Truck, Maximilian Montgomery, and Priscilia Pretend's Playhouse)
*She likes Hello Kitty stuff, art stuff (crayons, markers, paints, etc), books, Disney Princess stuff, Barbies, etc.
*Clothes size 5

COLE
Cole likes pretty much anything that has wheels, involves a ball, has to do with animals, or is kitchen-related. Jeff insists Santa needs to bring some boy toys though because he likes his sister's dolls and kitchen stuff too much.

*Trucks*Fisher Price Wheelies Stand 'n Play Rampway*Fisher Price Zoo Talkers set*Cole almost didn't leave the store without this Fisher Price Learning Kitchen. It sang songs, made noises, lite up, and was just fascinating for him. He was dancing in the store isles and screamed bloody murder when I dragged him away.
*Melissa & Doug play food like the food groups (Pearl would also like this stuff)
*Grocery cart
*Balls of any kind... just remember the kid can really throw and I don't want anything broken inside :)
*Books, puzzles, etc
*Clothes size 2T

Ridiculous? Yes.
