Christmas Gift List 2016

Okay, so I am sure by now that y'all are all aware of how crazy, nutty I am when it comes to Christmas. Having a baby has only made me worse. Justin and I try really hard to resist the urge to buy every adorable toy we come across throughout the year, so give us a holiday or a birthday and we are like kids in a toy store. Of course as adults (& in an attempt to be responsible parents), we still have to reign ourselves in quite a bit even then. 
Thanks to Chelsea at Front Porch Stories, I decided that this year I would put together our Christmas gift list for Reagan. I hope this was what you were looking for, Chelsea!
1. Fisher-Price Little People Mighty Kings Castle
2. VTech Musical Rhymes Book
3. Holy Stone RC Cartoon Race Car with Action Figure
4. LeapFrog Fridge Numbers Magnetic Set
5. VTech Turn and Learn Driver
6. VTech Smart Shots Sports Center
7. Mega Bloks First Builders Big Building Bag (Classic)
8. VTech Go! Go! Smart Animals Grow and Learn Farm
Now I know that it looks like we went a bit overboard, BUT in our defense 3 of these items are coming from the North Pole. Santa found a great deal at ToysRUS a few months ago- Buy 1 Get 1 Free VTech toys to be exact. Of course he and Mrs. Claus just couldn't pass up the opportunity to help out the elves a bit. They decided to go ahead and purchase the sports center and farm set. I mean, of course Reagan (Mr. Bundle of Energy himself) must have the sports center and his love for animals called for the farm as well. Considering they were the same price, Santa left very happy. During a recent walk through ToysRUs, Santa even found the castle on clearance. (A better price than Amazon actually- how often does that happen?!?!?!) They even have additional knights you can purchase in pairs.
We saw so many cute things. Picking and choosing what to get is a lot harder than we ever expected. At the end of the day though, we really tried to choose what we think he would enjoy the most. Unlike last year, he is actually letting us see more of his interests these days. There will of course be a few little stocking stuffers, some Christmas pajamas, and a new Christmas book (for our Christmas Eve box), but I am waiting until closer to Christmas to take on the search. These are our main gifts this year though. Now just to wait for Christmas and pray he loves them as much as we imagine he will. :)
