I got this idea from a friend :o) Thanks Carrie

Christmas is almost a month away! How the year has flown by. Just wanted to post an e-list to give some ideas for gifts for the kids as a start.

All of the kids birthday money has gone to buying books from Stirling's preschool. They are accumulating quite the collection. I can't wait to see Stirling's reaction to all the books he will get on Saturday from his Great Grandpa and Great Uncle. He loves reading with us. There are some classics in there that I read as a kid; I think he will love them.

List:
Stirling

>2 piece pj set; cotton only please; he is a very hot sleeper. Size 4T-4 - see link for ideas; however I don't think you can order from Children's Place online you would have to go to a store -
