I asked her what should be inside the present and she said "a Christmas present". She was totally not getting the idea :)<br /><br />I love that you can cook with your girls - that sounds like a lot of fun!<br /><br />@Stephanie - thanks for the tissue paper tip. IIRC my stocking presents as a kid weren't even wrapped. I didn't wrap the ones for the dogs this year :) I love the Target $1 section - I got T a little notebook from there, and they always have stickers, etc. I'm so glad she is past the stage of putting stuff in her mouth.<br /><br />And OMG, she totally needs a Slinky. I can't believe we don't have one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212690454989568626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927979.post-23855305086993125032011-12-24T10:13:43.899-08:002011-12-24T10:13:43.899-08:00I like to put "restaurant toys" in the s...I like to put "restaurant toys" in the stockings - little wind up things (they never last that long, so I can put some in there every year...), tiny slinkys, small books etc. Sometimes I'll get this stuff in the "party favors" section of Target. Also - when you're sick of wrapping, you can just roll things up in tissue paper. They don't know the difference, and the paper helps provide some bulk in the stocking.Stephanie Ozennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16754230097226584081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927979.post-45254539051302253252011-12-24T05:59:36.998-08:002011-12-24T05:59:36.998-08:00I still remember B's first Christmas, when she...I still remember B's first Christmas, when she was almost a year old. We put her small pile of gifts on the coffee table so she could open them, and she proceeds tompick up each one and put it on the floor—she had no idea there was anything inside the paper, and just thought it was a neat game. =) And I totally remember the days of them being so excited to play with the first thing opened that they had no interest in opening the rest. <br /><br />No big wants here this year. I am excited that I got baking cookbooks for the girls, along with some cooking tools of their own. The play kitchens still get some use (also a really big hit when they were T's age), but these days they'd rather play in my kitchen. =)Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968703151905016369noreply@blogger.com
