DeCremer Christmas List

I'm not even sure if people are still Christmas shopping and wondering what to get people, but I thought I'd post this in case it was useful.

This year we are doing a really small Christmas, mainly because we are getting ready to sell our house this year and are trying to get RID of items, so we don't want to just get a bunch of items to replace what we have gotten rid of. So, keep in mind that we would appreciate a small Christmas from others as well.

Damien and I both have Amazon wish lists. These lists have been active for years so they are not necessarily items we want for Christmas, but items we have wanted in general over the years. No expectations of items from the lists, but it is there as a general idea of what we may like. You can use our names to look those up if you do not have our email addresses. We are completely fine with not getting anything and just having you buy for the kids as well.

For the kids, this is their information:

Katie -
Really into American Girl. She bought Grace with her own money this year. She has glasses, a purse, earrings, an American Girl lunch bag, all of Grace's books (but not the movie), and we are getting her Grace's Baking set and Grace's French Bulldog for Christmas. Any clothing that would fit an 18" doll, any more of Grace's items as they are only available this year, or a gift card*/money to go toward more American Girl purchases she would like.

She loves reading. She is currently into Dork Diaries (has read through book 7) and Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls (has read through book 3) She is reading at a 6th grade level.

She is a size 10 and could use more pants, if you would rather get a need item instead of a want. She is a size 3.5 in shoes.

Aubrey -
She is starting to get into American Girl as well, but does not have a doll. She thinks she is getting one for Christmas, but we are just getting her the Himalayan Kitten. So, a gift card* or money to go toward her buying her own doll would be good.

She loves cats and kittens. So, anything that has cats or kittens on it would be good.

She is a size 7/8, but really only wears dresses and leggings. She could always use more leggings (she has 5 pairs, but goes through them, quickly), but has tons of dresses. She is a size 1.5 in shoes.

Makenna -
Wanting to be like her sisters, she also is into American Girl. She also does not have a doll, so money or a gift card* to go toward that would be good. We are getting her a puppy for Christmas. Probably Coconut.

Anything to help her learn letters would be good. She has way too many clothes and shoes.

Bridger -
He loves Super Why and Lightning McQueen. He also loves playing with cars. And, he loves books.

He is in a 3T, almost in a 4T for pants since he's so tall. He is wearing a size 8 shoe.

*We got a 4 pack of American Girl gift cards at Costco for $79. They had 4-$25 gift cards; so 20% off. We are giving each of the girls one in their stockings. While I don't expect anyone to get each of our kids a $25 gift card; I thought I would at least mention it in case you have other American Girl lovers you are buying for, or wanted to go in with someone else, etc. The only Costco that carried them was the one in Puyallup though so you might want to verify they still have them before making the drive. I know American Girl typically has good Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales online if you wanted to go that route. I understand American Girl is expensive, but that is what they are into right now so I included it just in case.

Really, anything at all is nice, and small would be good. As a general rule, they all still like legos as well. Family games are always good, whether board games or xbox 360/Kinect games. Also, activity gifts instead of presents.
