So it's been a loooooooonnnng time since I've posted on my blog. Any more I use Instagram or Facebook to keep everyone up to date about what's happenin'. But, it's easier for me to use the blog to let everyone know what's on our Christmas/Birthday lists this year.
Without further ado, I'll start with the girls...
Chloe
For Chloe being the second girl, she gets mostly hand-me-downs. So there isn't a whole lot on her list since we have most of everything. BUT I do like to get her some new things every once is a while. Including new clothes, she wears 12 months with room to grow right now. By Christmas time probably 12-18 months for next year. Skinny jeans/leggings would be great! Or a cute jacket for spring time. Shoes would be fine too. I have a lot of shoes that are missing their partner! A pair of boots and sandals would be awesome, she wears 2 now, 3 with room to grow.
Any sort of accessories such as bows and barrettes or Gloves and Mittens. Books are always a great option. Board books with faces or objects get her attention well.
I'd like a toddler size comforter and sheets set for her as well. She has light pink, green, and some reds in her room.
As far as toys, she'd really like some rubber or plastic animals that are ok to be chewed on. Not so much noisy toys, but she likes music. Even some bath toys.
Cora
This year Cora told me EXACTLY what she wanted. Lol. So this is what she told me:
"Polka-dot puppy (dalmation) to be Little Puppy's friend. A ninja turtle hat, bath toys, dolls with a REALLY big house, and a REALLY big car. I need a new phone too Mom. (No) A grown-up pencil and paper, and some toys to play in the pool and outside."
I thought she was pretty specific as to what she'd like but she also likes Frozen things and ANY stuffed animal would capture her heart. Crafty activities, dress-ups things, puppy anythings, fort supplies, and she LOVES reading books. She likes books about animals and dinosaurs, and look and finds, but I like ones that teach lessons for her.
For clothes, she wears 4t shirts and pants. More skinny jeans, pjs, socks, and sweaters would be great. Summer dresses are also needed for next year. Along with bloomers to cover her panties in them. She wears shoe size 8 now, 9 for next year and could use sandals for summer, boots and tennis shoes now.
For accessories, scarfs and she likes head bands. Also hand bags.
That should be plenty of ideas for the girls! BTW Coras birthday is Dec 15 and Chloes is Jan 14.
Joel and I of course had to think really hard about what we wanted. Since nobody can buy us a new house, neighbors, or vacation to the Bahamas, here's what we came up with:
Joel
He has recently become very interested in carpentry and has some tools to help him with his projects. But the tools he still needs are too expensive for ya'll to buy for Christmas, so gift cards to Lowes or Home Depot would be greatly appreciated.
But if you're not the gift card type of person, he'd like a watch, notebook, fountain pen, leather bracelet, sneakers (size 10.5), or v-neck fitted tees (size medium). They don't have to be these EXACT items, just giving an idea of what he'd like. But I've provided links below. I think most of these items are under $30 too.

For myself, the easiest thing to do would be to look at my Pinterest Want board. Here's the link:
Pretty much everything in there I'd love to have for myself or family. They're all different price ranges and some things are diy. But if you are a gift card type person, ones to Starbucks, Lowes, Target, Barnes and Noble, or restaurants would work great.
Joel and I need to have date nights more often so anyone who wants to offer to babysit and provide dinner and an activity for us would be most appreciated too!
I hope I provided enough ideas for everyone and check here every so often, as I may edit some items if someone lets me know what they've already got.
Thanks everyone!
