From santa, a new bike. From us a boogie board, snorkel and flippers. From others, a globe of the world, skipping rpe, elastics, cookbook, Hairdresser doll head, clothes and books.

What is the hairdresser doll head, Nai? DD would love that! (Presently she gets DH in the bath whenever she can and he is made to sit there for an hour while does his hair )

Haven't worked out what is from Santa and what is from us yet, but DD1 (just turned 4) is getting a Barbue cd player - very pink! lol Some more Grug books, a few other books, come colouring books, a new dress, a frisbee and some little toy animals, a Leap Pad if I can hunt one down, and a Dora hopalong bouncy thing (the balls with the handles you sit on and bounce around on); a Disney princess watch, a worm farm. Will probably get her some bubble bath and hair clips too.

We tend to give her a fair bit at Christmas, so far my brother and sister have been beyond slack sending her gifts from Melbourne at birthday or Christmas (as in, couldn't be arsed even sending a card) and MIL didn't even send her a birthday card from NZ this year either. She has spoken to BIL and said she is going to give us money to buy something for her ourselves (not impressed with that at all). We have a friend coming to stay for Christmas so he is getting her a Dora doll of some description I think.
