Alan and Shannon Christmas List

Our main Christmas wish is actually cash as we try to get financially settled after our move and dream up ways to improve our new home. It's not hard to dream up the ways to improve it, the creativity comes in dreaming up ways to pay for the dream. I'm sure you'll agree that shopping for cash is boring, so here are some other items you might consider if you're in the shopping spirit and just so happen to have one of our names on your gift exchange list.

Alan: tan dress socks, coal, national geographic subscription, classical music cds, ties, DVDs (e.g., a Miyazaki film - in Japanese, of course; or the latest Harry Potter movie, or any good comedy, action, etc.)
Shannon: something to place on my bathtub, example small basket with bath salts or something, scrapbook stuff, donuts mmmmm
Sarah: books (I Spy books are a good idea), drawing/art stuff, kid's music, Disney movie (Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmatians, or a Goofy collection if any exists); a bigger item wish for her is a play kitchen or tricycle
Emmie: stuffed animals, Baby Einstein DVD (We don't have Baby Newton, Baby Van Gogh, Baby Bach), clothes size 12 mo
