Dear Santa

Every year Riley and I take a trip to Toys R Us to begin the long wish list for Santa.  He tells me what to items to take pictures of to put on his list.  This year Uncle Kevin came along with us.  That was nice because he watched Kendall while Riley and I were snapping away!

Here is his "wish list":

We didn't find this anywhere, but Riley would like a brown UPS truck.

Legos are a popular choice this year.

Lego City Camper

Lego City Police Command Center

Lego Soldier's Fort

Lego Brickbeard's Bounty

 Multiple Lego Bricks & More:  Large Green Baseplate Accessory

Leapster cartridge - Batman Strength In Numbers

Leapster Cartridge - Digging For Dinosaurs

Matchbox Mega Rig Pirate Ship

Tonka Mighty Motorized Garbage Truck...Will he EVER outgrow his love to push trucks around the house?  He's 5 1/2 years old and still wants trucks!

Star Wars is still popular again with him this Christmas...

Star Wars R McQuarrie Signature Series Action Figures

Star Wars Legacy Collection - Disturbance at Lars Homestead

Star Wars Clone Trooper Costume

Star Wars Clone Wars Republic Gunship

True Heros Talking Military Utility Belt

True Heros Military Deluxe Set

Ikea Large Stuffed Shark

I think Santa is going to add a Razor Scooter and possibly a sled and cup stacking to his list.  He needs a new scooter, but has forgotten about it because it's colder out now and we don't get it out as often as we did before.  If we get a big snow storm before Christmas, he may end up with a new sled before then, but we got rid of all of our before we moved to Florida.  We left one in PA at Grammy's and the other headed to North Carolina with Nanny & Pappy.

Riley understands that he will not receive everything on his list.  He knows that Santa won't bring him everything he wants, but will try to bring him some of what he wants if he's a good boy.

Both kids are getting their own stuffed chair from Pottery Barn from my parents for their playroom.  We want to have a little reading corner for them and they are going to love them.  They were on sale last month so we snatched them up while we could.

Kendall's list is much shorter.  The kid lacks for nothing.  She's got all of Riley's hand me down toys and plenty of clothes to last through the winter.  Right now she's been very interested in books, animals aka ga-ga's, Elmo, her baby doll and dress up.  She loves to look into the mirror we have in our bedroom!  I have it propped up against the wall so she has a full length view of herself.  You should see how dirty it is from her touching it!  Here are some ideas of things she might enjoy:

Any board books with pictures of animals in it would be a great hit!  Ikea has some cute yet inexpensive play kitchen accessories that we could add to our kitchen once we get it out of storage.

Santa will most likely bring the following for Sissy:

 

Fisher Price Laugh & Learn: Learning Puppy

Elmo Live Encore!

Melissa & Doug Pretty Purse Fill & Spill

Any type of dress up accessories that she can't choke on - she still puts  A LOT of stuff into her mouth.  Any type of safe jewelry or brushes, etc. she'd love to play with...she's forever going after my stuff.

Family members have been asking for this info so I hope this gives some of you (and Santa) some ideas for the Chunko children for Christmas.  Boy Santa is going to be busy this year...Thank goodness our "Elf On The Shelf" will be making an appearance the Friday after Turkey Day!
