OH my, I thought I was the only one having issues with my mom and dad buying everything on the kids wishlist. Everything I had planned to buy them my mom has already gotten. My younger sister called tonight and said she was having a hard time coming up with things to buy her girls because Mom and Dad had gotten most of it. I guess I'd better hurry up and get the DS and trampoline before my parents change their minds and get that too.....
Man I need to come up with new ideas now. :( Any thoughts for a girly 7 year old and a tomboy 4 yr old who likes cars and tinkerbell and a 2 yr old?
Till they all come home.....

Sounds like your parents are being helpful. I would ask the girls what their #1 wish is and then go from there. My suggestion if you rather your parents not buy everything on the list then only give them only half the list and ask them to respect you so you can buy as well.
These are your children and what a blessing for you. Enjoy these years because they are treasured possessions. It is wonderful that your family is so helpful, but did it spoil your plans? I hope not. For me, that would have been a blessing because we did not have the income. Hugs and enjoy those holidays.
well ya just gotta get a little creative. you're parents sound like a blessing, don't try to compete with them, you can fill in with all the santa stuff and then put a few things under there from you guys. I would say go to a toys r us if you can and just simply browse and soak it all in so you can come up with other ideas, then hit different stores for others. I personally wish I had this problem.
I know I could just give her a box.
