Christmas

It might seem a little bit early to start thinking about Christmas, but I am such a planner and am always anxious to get my Christmas Snowman Friends out as early as possible to enjoy them as long as I can. I also like to get as much of my Christmas shopping done, as early as I can. That way we aren't totally strapped for money the month of December. My mother-in-law was thinking the same thing, I guess, when she asked what the boys might want this year for Christmas. Last year was such a toy frenzy, I'm hoping this year we can knock it down a notch. I was trying to come up with some great ideas for them, but am coming up short. Sam's pretty easy, Gabe is the one that is a little more challenging. I'll probably have to take him to Toys R Us one of these days and just let him loose to see what he really likes, without Sam's influence.

Do any of you have any great toy ideas? Something your kids love? Some magical, amazing toy that keeps them occupied for hours on end that none of us can live without?
