Dear Santa..........

Well, we don't start thinking about Santa around here until the Big Turkey comes but Lola called to ask about Santa today so I thought I would post some thoughts for the kids. I will try to update this subject as my rambling thoughts ramble out.

Gabriel's sizes:
Tops-5T
Bottoms-4T with adjustable waistlines a must-still a skinny minnie
Shoes-9.5- he needs slippers and new sneakers since he just got his new ones all muddy

Sylvia's sizes:
Tops-24 months
Bottoms-18 months
skirts-well most skirts are floor length for her since she is so short-She's in Old Navy 24 months for some and 6 months for others. Basically go by weight.
weight: 20 pounds
Height: 31 inches
Don't we do not expect a growth spurt from her so don't buy big. She'll be in these sizes through at least early spring if not late spring too.
Shoe size 4 or 4.5 and boots size 5. She likes boots.

Other stuff:
Gabriel: cars, trains, modes of transportation, books. He is currently into all things creepy crawly and has cleaned the library out of books on snails, slugs, spiders, pill bugs, beetles. He has memorized the biographical information on several different spiders.
He likes dancing and music. He also needs a new guitar since the one from Auntie Elisa in Hawaii has broken from over use.
He likes legos, the intermediate size for his age group. I was thinking lego sets that build certain things like ships or vehicles or some stuff like that.
He also likes to pretend like mad now. He likes to crash all his cars and then take them in the ambulance to the hospital where the car doctor fixes them up. He would probably really like a larger size tow truck (to take the broken cars to the doctor)
I would like to start him on games, the game section in Target is pretty good. Age groups 3 or 4. Twister would be a good one. There's an Eric Carle game set in a flyer I saw recently might be something good.
I am also thinking I will allow him some tinker toys, perhaps a set that builds something specific.

Sylvia: Is a very girly girl.
purses, hats, jewelry, she needs a small tiny backpack, she is nuts for dora the explorer.
Dress up stuff
