My girls loved their new doll clothes and matching outfits for themselves (also from Doll Clothes Superstore, Irene), and their new Russian Nesting Dolls . My older girls were thrilled to have Santa bring them a a CD stereo for their room(which I got on sale the day after Thanksgiving.) Our 3yo was thrilled with her Target version of an American Girl doll, and a futon bed for the doll.

They also loved:

A new calligraphy set from an aunt
A fashion design set from Hearthsong (from another aunt)
DVDs (Because of Winn Dixie, Princess Bride, Little Bear)

Santa also left an enormous Narnia poster, which they love. (My husband brought it home from school -- it had come with an educator's packet about Narnia.)

And it goes without saying that they loved all the chocolate, with which Santa is always so generous.

MacBeth,
We got the same raquet game as you (or a similar one) called Speedbird from Sharper Image. My mother in law who used to play tennis daily loved it.

I like it b/c it feels good when you hit it, the speeder doesn't roll into the street, and you can play anywhere, without a net.

On a side note, my husband got me a nice concrete statue of Our Lady of Grace with a grotto for the yard and my mommy is going to landscape around it in May!

Dh ordered this necklace and earring set and this necklace and these (yummmm!).

I love buying gifts from the Serrv catalog (nothing made in China!) and skipping the Wal-mart middle man but this was the first time I received anything from it. Dh received this Anonymous 4 CD.

Lord of the Beans was a big hit among all ages and the kids loved the old classic Twister they received from their older brother. Dh and I loved the bottle of Jose Cuervo and margarita mix he gave us, especially since we were both sick the week after Christmas and needed lots of (iced)toddies

Hey....it's Christmas.

Two new dresses for each of the four older girls' American Girl dolls (from Doll Clothes Superstore and my new email friend Linda's website)

I'm so glad some of your ordered from Linda. I'm the one who told y'all about this lovely lady. I've been on an AGBuddies list with her for several years (I'm on and off it). Those gals are just nuts about dolls and it shows in their workmanship (if they sew or knit). Another lady if about to re-string an AG doll for me, for free! I love supporting these cottage businesses, too!
