Love the LeapPads! We are early adopters of the LeapPad because I was fearful of otherwise having to entertain my twins on a 7 hour flight in October. A few tips to keep in mind: First, they must be synced with the computer before your kiddos can play anything so I recommend doing this before Christmas unless your kids are more patient than mine. Second, the apps can be shared with up to 3 LeapPads so we opted to go that route instead as I didn't want to have a lot of fighting over who gets to use a game. Third, the free bonus apps that come with the LeapPad are an exception to #2 at least as far as I can tell (I spent some agonizing time trying to figure this one out when I was setting them up). And fourth, Amazon is selling the $20 app cards for less than $20 ($14 earlier this week when I picked up a couple for stocking stuffers). Admittedly though, receiving an app card is going to be much less exciting than receiving an actual game cartridge.

Congrats on knocking off much of your shopping! Must feel great.

I want a Leap Pad too.

Hailey has that unicorn pillow pet and she calls it Butterfly...she's weird.

I saw an awesome Lego sorter that you can watch in action...it's in the shape of a huge Lego head. Can't beat that with a bat.

My boys wanted pillow pets last year. It was their "big" Santa gift. And Mr. Kiss does the stockings. Except his - which I always slack on. Oops!

Legos rock... you can't lose with that choice x2!!!

We gave the kids "hand me down" Leapsters for their birthday last week. I debated about splurging for the LeapPads but felt stupid since we had 2 FREE Leapsters that work perfectly fine. They'll be getting new games for Christmas for sure though.

Stockings - I LOVE stockings!! Its like the best challenge to try to find meaningful, fun gifts that fit into a big sock. I love shopping for stockings more than anything else and I always get too much and it doesn't all fit! ha!

Saw zhu-zhu pets on clearance on a back end cap at my Target this weekend... you might want to look there.

Love the lalaloopsy doll. I have never seen those before!

Congrats on having it all figured out! And I think two sets of Legos are way better than one...I'm always a bit sad we don't have more pieces to make even bigger masterpieces (I mean, the girls are sad...ahem...).

And I agree, stockings are so much fun!
