I wasn't going to this year, but I am after this morning! My DH wouldn't let me get them their own stockings, but one day I'll do it anyway. I usually buy them extra treats or toys and I think I will stock up on toys this year. Lily has been acting out and I think she is bored with the toys she has, so in lieu of charcoal Santa is going to hook her up.
Examples of her destruction (I think it's her terrible 2's - she is 8 mo old):
