A Few of Our Favorite Things

In my family (my parents, brothers, & sisters), we usually exchange couples names and kids' names since my parents have 7 children and 13 grandchildren. So, it seems like every year around Christmas time, I get an e-mail asking what Michael and I and the kids want for Christmas. I usually give sizes of clothes, shoes, and what each child likes and might want. I've noticed that some things stay the same and other things change as they get older (sizes mostly). I thought that I would just post it on our blog this year so that my family can all see it and then my kids can look back and see the things they were interested in this year. I kind of see it as a mini-spotlight for everyone.
