Our Girls' Wish Lists 2014

Last week I posted my Christmas wish list. Since I had so much fun making mine and I have had a few people asking about present ideas for the girls, I decided to make a wish list for them to. 

*Disclaimer they didn't make their list!

 I did.

 I did ask them what they wanted for Christmas. Emily replied "MINNIE" and Marissa said she wanted panda bear baby. I did include those items then I added some things I think they might be interested in based upon sheer mommy instinct.

Notice a theme here? This girl is SO in love with all thing Mickey and Minnie. We have already purchased item #1 and #2 on her list for her. 

1. Figaro Pet Carrier Play set - We purchased

2. Minnie Mouse Logo Sweatshirt - We purchased

3. Minnie's Bow-Tique Dvd

4. Mobigo Mickey Game

5. Mickey Surprise Slides Game

6. Minnie Magnetic Dress-up Set

7. Mickey Floor Puzzle

Marissa's list is kind of a stab in the dark. The girl is rarely very specific about presents that she wants. She could look through a toy book and pick out just about everything in the book. Russ and I are kind of getting "toyed"out though. At what point does one have enough dolls and Barbies? So knowing her interests I picked some craft supplies, books and games and of course the one toy she is begging for. We have already purchased items #1 and #7 for her

1. Fur-real Panda - We Purchased

2. Pot Holder Loom Bands

3. Flat Stanley Book

4. Quick Knit Loom

5. Disney Tunes Piano Book

6. Trouble Game

7. Ariel DS Game - We Purchased

So there you have it. Two lists full of toys, books and games that would make two little girls VERY happy. 

What did your kids put on their list?

Vacation, In My Dreams

Vacation
Just the thought of those words simultaneously makes me smile and want to cry. I smile at the thought of actually going on a real vacation. I cry because I know it just isn't going to happen this year. In an attempt to tame (or tease) my travel bug a bit I put together a list. 
If I was going on vacation here are 5 places that I would love to visit.
1. Walt Disney World.

I know, it is pretty classic and not exactly a relaxing get away. But I have only been one time and before we came home I tearfully made Russ promise me we would go back. Hopefully that will happen late 2015 or early 2016. 

Disney vacation November, 2011

2. Denver

Mountains, beautiful weather, and so much to see and do. Did I mention the Coors Brewery is that way to. Yeah, I am pretty sure we would have plenty to do in Denver. 

3. California

The beach, my grandparents & family, San Francisco, So-Cal, Disney Land. It would be awesome and really hard to squeeze it all in. We might need a few weeks for this one. 

4. Road Trip ~ The Mother Road, Route 66

Okay call me a nerd but the hubby and I dream of traveling Route 66 start to finish. Plus it would get me to Chicago for the start of the trip and take me all the way to California. Downfall this trip seems more like something that would be more enjoyable when we retire or become independently wealthy, whichever happens first ;).

5. International ~ Fiji

Who wouldn't want to go here, seriously?! Now that looks like the relaxation that I could really use. Fiji take me away.

Okay so if you didn't already have a travel bug I am guessing that you do now.
The Travel agency in your dreams is now open. Tell me some places that you would like to visit if you could go anywhere.
