Wish Lists

The girls both have birthdays coming up, so I thought I would write their wish lists for them for anyone out there who was wanting to send a little something. First of all, let me say that due to our EXTREMELY bountiful Christmas from Grandma's, Grandpa's, Aunts and Uncles, neither of the girls are in need of ANY toys in ANY form. We have no room left for any others, and I highly approve of every toy they have (shocking!) so it would be hard to get rid of anything to make more room. Seriously- those little girls are loved! No toys!

Also, we will be having two SEPARATE parties for them, so please don't send gifts for 'The Girls' to share. They are two separate people, and just because their parent's were silly enough to not space out their birthdays more than a few weeks apart doesn't mean they don't deserve 2 sepearate celebrations. That like when Ross and I get birthday gifts for the two of us, or when people whose birthdays are close to Christmas get gifts that are meant for both a birthday and a Christmas gift. Not cool! Sorry, soap-box moment over! :)

Sara is in need of some board books. Most of our board books went through Emma, and she was not terribly kind to them. Sara has ripped a number of regular books on accident but she loves reading books and turning pages (which is how she ripped the other books).

We are also looking for a twin mattress for her to start sleeping on. She is way too big for her little Pack N' Play (no, we still have not bought a real crib- don't judge!) but we don't think she is ready for a real bed just yet. Our plan is to find a twin mattress that we can use as a trundle type thing and slide it under Emma's bed when it is not needed. This will be a good way to ease them into sharing a room as well- something Ross feels very strongly about.

Emma would like some more pretty princess (Sunday) dresses. She only has two that fit her right now, and she only likes one of them. She wears a 3T now, but 4T would be better so it will last a week or two :).

Other than those specific needs, books, clothes, bedding, treats, and money (we are starting a mutual fund for them- and all cash given to them will be invested in that) would all be fabulous presents. Please note that this is not me begging for presents for the girls- I have just had a lot of requests for something of this nature, and thought this was a good way to get the word out without having to say it over and over.

I thought this was a very appropriate way to share what your girls need and want. I personally hate giving gifts that aren't wanted or needed and I appreciate when people let me know what types of gifts would work.

Happy birthday (separately) to both your girls!

I love this post! LOL. I feel the same about Birthday being close to Christmas, ours aren't that close, but people still do the 1 present for Birthday and Christmas! ARGH!
