S/O Christmas....
I've seen all of the 99 days until posts, and it just makes me tired thinking about Christmas. (Busy for everyone I know, but extra busy for us church people!!!) Plus the fact that I'll be 36-ish weeks pregnant when it rolls around reminds me that I should get a move on.
The trouble is I have NO ideas....not for family, nor S, nor DH.
We don't usually go crazy for Christmas. I like getting DS about 3 things from Santa, and then a few things (clothes, jammies, etc.) from DH and I...I just have NO idea what to get.
So, what is on your 3 year old Christmas lists this year? What about for DH and extended family? I don't mind buying slightly ahead toy wise...and I'd like to avoid major furniture toys. We already have a grill, and a workbench and an easel ...and MIL seems insistent on buying a table and chairs, even though I have tried to dissuade that. (S really likes being where we are...I think he's a few years away from independent work at a his own table yet...) But, I'd like some ideas.

Re: S/O Christmas....
I think we got EJ a few board games when she was 3... perhaps candy land and memory. That may have also been the year for the leap pad or the little leap pad jr reader thing. My ILs got her a giant pink unicorn. Or maybe that was her 4 y/o christmas. so you could always put that on your list...

And, the unicorn sounds like it's right up there with the Toddler Drum Set that MIL got S last year....the pedal broke and we pitched them just a few weeks ago....sad....(not really!)
they have some games that are geared toward the younger crowd...Liam is a big fan of the Doc McStuffins game

I bought Nolan an Innotab last year and he's starting to play with it more. I anticipated that at 2 he'd be too young for it, but DD has one and with them always coming out with newer versions of them I wanted to make sure they could share games.
He got a smartwheels set last year from Nana and Papa, so I may get him some extra track and cars for it.
We have a National Geographic Animal Encyclopedia that both kids love, so I may get him the dino version. http://www.amazon.com/National-Geographic-Kids-Ultimate-Dinopedia/dp/1426301642/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1411137564&sr=8-4&keywords=National+Geographic+dinosaurs
I think Santa will bring both kids bean bag chairs or some other type of kids seating for their playroom.
Brinley wants more Barbies. She's also into fashion and artsy stuff, so I might see if I can find a decent kid's sewing machine.
dD1 got a vanity for her room (Santa shops early around here)...don't know about DD2. Both girls will get more Disney outfits...hopefully going to be finished soon
No idea on the 3 yr old ! I got his sister a leap pad last year in a great sale so bought another one & may give it to him this year. Matching cards, puzzles, easy kids games?
Last year we got him a train table and unfortunately it was way too big and he doesn't play with it that much.
