Christmas Ideas for the Blaines

Thanks Alisa for starting the trend of ideas. I like ideas for what to get people! Maybe these suggestions will help you with some ideas.

Deven: Clothes (he wears a 4T)
He loved the remote control helicopters from his uncles. They died though, so that's a great idea.
He loves trains, cars, trucks.
Play dough
Books, pop up books
Bullets for his nerf guns
scooter

Ben: Clothes size 7 pants same for tops
skate board
scooter
ditto to the helicopters
v-tech cyber spy notebook as seen in Wal-Mart ad

Emily: clothes size 8 (some shirts or dresses need size 9 or 10)
Books
anything girly
easy bake mixes
scrapbook kit
ditto to the v-tech laptop

Nate: clothes size xl tops and lg bottoms
he likes those silky exercise tops and bottoms, he likes extra long bottoms (9 inch inseam)
really old cheese (oops, aged)
dockers size 33x34
ditto to the helicopters...
sled
lindt chocolates
weather station with rain gauge
set of steak knives

Jen: clothes size xl
books (list of want to reads on goodreads.com)
body and bath shower gels and lotions
pjs
pilates on the ball work out dvds or other good ones you have liked


I hope those ideas help. We sure get spoiled at Christmas time with gifts from the family. They are the favorite toys.

If anyone in the family could help me out with ideas for Bill.... I also need ideas for Brianna, Colby and Aiden, John and Jill, and Jeremy for Nate.

Love, Jen

Yes Justin, the kids and Nate all got cookies from that race! They also got t-shirts, candy and gatorade. I think they got more than the entrance fee was. You'll have to come to Utah next Halloween for the spooktakular run next year!

Oh, and I tried to look up your name on goodreads.com and couldn't find you Jen. Maybe you need to be signed up as a member to search the list???

I did see you (Jennifer Blain [sic]) are an author for two books called "A Book of Birds" and "A Book of Sea Creatures". Congratulations!

Are you saying Nate wouldn't appreciate cheese that's been in our fridge for months????
