We were at Toys R Us recently and both kids immediately saw (and wanted) this pedal car! Anna and John could both ride it (along with many other kids in the store) It seemed sturdy, well built, adjustable (as they grow) easy to pedal and fun!

For those who just love the tradition of smocked dresses, how about this "Here Comes Santa" green corduroy smocked dress from www.nanas-boutique.com. Priced from $44 (depending on size) you're sure to capture the feeling of Christmas' past.
While browsing today I found some cute holiday finds at www.littlefashionsboutique.com. This red ruffle dress is another take on that bubble hem and is just so darling! $69
I really love the bubble hem trend this year, Anna has a few skirts with that hem and they really do look so cute. While browsing at www.hannaanderson.com I came across this striking silver bubble hem dress (on sale for $49.60!) and just couldn't resist! Perfect for the holidays or anytime!
I know, I know, I said before that I don't usually post about other shoes (since that is my business after all --www.snanimals.com) But I found these cute flower shoes at www.myprincesscloset.com for $45 and just fell in love!! Really unique, Anna would look great in these!
I am ordering this little 3 foot Christmas tree (in pink!) for Anna's bedroom. It's just $19.95 and super adorable. She will LOVE having this tree, year after year, to decorate her room (think American girl dolls, etc--having their own tree!) Definitely worth the purchase. www.lakeside.com
Okay, by now you must know that my absolute favorite place to buy Anna's clothing is through www.gingerlouiseclothing.etsy.com. I can't even begin to describe the quality, cut and fabrics she uses to make these custom creations. And that she will custom size them for your little girl is just beyond! She has started listing her holiday line, which is very limited. She also is having a blow out sale, be sure to get your favs at reduced prices (I did.!) Here is her new Jubilee, Ferry in Red for Christmas ($34) I have this top in blue and it is divine!!! I want this and will likely get it for Anna!!
Here is the Jubilee holiday twirl set (both top and skirt) for $54.00. I have these tops in many colors for Anna and they are fabulous! I have many skirts but not the twirl (yet) but can say that the others are phenomenal so I know this is too. She puts so much into each piece and it shows!
Been looking around for gifts that the boys will like (my John and my nephews) and wanted something fun. Found these bungee jumpers at http://www.backtobasicstoys.com/ that are like pogo sticks but a little bit easier for the younger crowd. $22.99
When you have time to really browse etsy (there are soooo many items) you can find just about any thing you want, and even things you didn't know you wanted! http://www.francoiselamasolet.etsy.com has a shop that offers some amazing custom designs including this custom bambi fleece sweater. It has a hefty price tag of $95, but it truly is an original. If my Emma were alive, I can certainly see me getting this for her. She LOVED Bambi, and this is a truly unique and creative way to include bambi on a shirt or sweater.
Saw this in the mindware catalog (http://www.mindware.com/) it is a puzzle maker that sells for $24.95. The fun thing is that is comes with backing for pictures so you can turn your favorites into puzzles. Great idea, fun craft and makes a great gift!
Yes, we all know about leg warmers, but how about arm warmers? I've been checking out a bunch on etsy to see what's out there but don't think any are as cute or interesting as these from littlemissmatched.com! $12 gets you 3 to mix and mismatch! 
Everyone seems to be excited by the new Peanuts collection from New Balance. Styles for infant, preschool and kids, they cover many designs and characters. I really like these Charlie Brown preschool sneakers for winter, really cute. $52.99 at www.nbwebexpress.com (or click the title for a direct link.)
I just LOVE this adorable dress from www.aprilscott.etsy.com (I love her other dresses too, check them out for original fabrics!) This would make a spectacular baby shower gift or Christmas present. Comes in sizes from 3 mos to 4T!!
Saw this shirt for the first time today at http://www.bchildrenswear.etsy.com/ for $18. What an adorable creation! A shirt with a pocket and a letter in it, little girls will LOVE this!! Great gift idea.
I can't be the only one who absolutely LOVES these custom stockings by www.pattycakekreation.etsy.com ($25) She lists a choice between these 2 colors but says she can do others also. I think they're great!
For those DSi fanatics you know, here is the newest and latest (just came out on Saturday.) Action Replay DSi, cheat device with tons of new codes (your kid will want one, trust me!) $19.99 Amazon.com
