Christmas List

Even though I hate doing this because it seems like "buy us gifts!" I think that sharing a list of gifts that the children could use or would want is practical.

Both kids:
Bath toys
Children's picnic table (no plastic, please)
Helping to defray the costs of lessons; Alma starts ballet lessons in January, James will begin swim lessons in December

Alma:
Swim suit (has to be a two-piece as she needs access to her belly button, which she still holds for comforting) -- size 3T
Ballet gear (tights: "Ballet pink" without seams; leotard: must be a Capezio, short-sleeved pink, style 400C, size 3T)
Dresses and warm tights -- size 3T and up
Board games
Shoes -- size 8.5 and up

James:
Swim towel for his upcoming swim lessons
Shoes -- size 6 and up
Baby books

The general cavots to this list:
* If you are excited about giving a gift that isn't on this list, feel free.  They will love it!
* If you have already purchased something as a gift, don't stress out and return it.  They will love it!
* If you decide not to get a gift this year, that's perfect too.  We will always love you!
* We prefer to not have plastic toys in the house.  So if you can lean towards wooden or natural materials, we would be grateful.
