Ok, so of course it's not really Georgia's list, more like my list for her, but still! I am so beyond excited for Christmas this year. We sat in our wait for 5 Christmases wondering if we'd ever get the chance to experience all of the magic that comes along with having children during the holiday season. This year we finally do and we will definitely be continuing some of our favorite traditions and maybe starting some new ones of our own!
Although in the future we will try to keep Christmas somewhat simple, I think this year I am just really in the gift-giving mindset because I want to make this a special Christmas even though Georgia won't remember it. I don't think this list is too much, however we may not end up with everything on it this year. One tradition I would like for us to start as Georgia gets older is giving to others; picking a name off of a tree and giving to a family in need is definitely something I have strong feelings about doing with our children as they get older. We really want the to understand the importance of giving to others, especially during the holidays.

Little Tikes Hide and Seek Climber and Swing - so my parents have the swing and Georgia absolutely loves it. We thought this swing & slide combo would be perfect for her as well, and can easily be moved from inside to outside.
Little Tikes Princess Cozy Coupe Ride-On - the cozy coupe is something that has been around for years! It may be a little bit big for Georgia now, but maybe for her first birthday in February or maybe even next year.
LeapFrog My Pal Violet - ok so for like $17 this seems to be one of the best toys for the best prices. This is a customizable toy that you can personalize with your phone or computer. It will say and spell your childs name , it has over 15 learning activities and 40+ songs. You can also personalize your child's favorite animal, food, and color!
Christmas Vacation Onesie Set - if you've followed along here for awhile then you know how seriously the Ridley family takes Christmas Vacation, we quote the movie all year long & always kick off our holiday season watching it on Thanksgiving. Joe's family even throws a Christmas Vacation themed party where you dress up as your favorite character. I bought this for Georgia to wear to family Christmas this year & I cannot wait to see her in it!
Magical Mermaid Wooden Bowling Set - I could not get over this adorable little bowling set. I got it in the mail the other day and it is even cuter in person, perfect for little hands! This shop also has some really cute rainbow puzzles & I know a lot of us in the infertility community have a special place in our hearts for anything rainbow!
Silicone Pacifier Clip & Teether - this isn't necessarily a super fun toy, but we are definitely in need of some new paci clips, Georgia's leather paci clips are pretty disgusting now after all the slobber & spit up that has accumulated on them over the last several months. Although she isn't teething yet, I thought these silicone ones were the best option for her because she definitely prefers to put them in her mouth more often than not! Plus I think teeth can come any time now!
That's pretty much it for us for this year! We really don't want to accumulate a million toys and we will always try to keep Christmas reasonable and simple. What are you gifting to your littles this year?
