Unfortunately, the lifespan of a snowman in these parts is very brief - that is IF there's even enough snow to make a decent snowman. I have a feeling these cookies would disappear just as quickly. For the how-to, sled on over to the decorated cookie.

Santa's already sent this one via UPS! It's a running bike that helps kids learn balance and coordination before pedaling. Pretty cool!
A play table and chairs so he can start making me some serious fridge art. I love this one at Land of Nod.
Charley Harper ABCs and 123s books. I could go on and on about the greatness of Charley Harper's art, but I will save that for another post.
My husband is currently on the hunt for this Hot Wheels track that folds up so you don't trip over it on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Aww...see how happy those boys look?
A classic story from my childhood that I'd like to pass on - The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.
Have you seen the commercial for this yet? It's a spill-proof Gyro Bowl. The bowl actually rotates 360 degrees, so no matter how it's turned, it doesn't spill it's contents. Ah, to dream of not squishing on raisins and goldfish in socked feet...
These two Elephant and Piggie books - or any books by Mo Willems, for that matter - here and here.
A piano just like Daddy's.
When I was a kid, I had a rocking chair. It has teeth marks on the arms to prove it. He needs this one so he can add his own teeth marks.
Still the cutest kid shoes I've ever seen.
Classic set of wood blocks by Melissa and Doug.
A drum with musical instruments. Oh...and some Tylenol for mommy.

A pair of real, classic cowgirl boots. Like these. Cause I do live in Texas, y'all.
"So Very Happy" print by dazeychic on Etsy, because this print does make me so very happy!
I beat Santa to the punch and already got this sweet Johnny Cupcakes tee for myself!
Silhouette machine - oh, the things I could make with this!!
2011 Wall calendar from Paper Source.
I happen to know that these Toms are as good as wrapped and under the tree - thanks, Sarah!
A lovely crewel embroidery kit from Purl Soho.
This dove pendant from James Avery, because it reminds me of the dove necklace my grandmother always wore.
Origami paper for my new hobby.
This crochet book to feed my granny square obsession.
A Flip video camera so I can film Jack doing his infamous "Jack dance"

I don't often make deviled eggs. As in, I think I have made them once in my life...I think. But I do love them, and I would probably make them a lot more if I had this fabulous paint palette inspired egg tray from Anthropologie. I mean, somebody has to bring them to the family get-togethers, right? I hereby volunteer. And inbetween the deviled egg holding, maybe it could hold beads or something. Or it could just sit there and look pretty.
Mom, are you reading this? This would make a lovely Christmas gift for a beloved daughter... :)

This is going to be another one of those "if I had a little girl" posts. And if I were to ever have a little girl (heaven, help me), I've always said I'd never put a bow or flower bigger than my baby's head on my baby's head. But something in me must have snapped because I think this is just too darn cute.
Miss Plunkett has a line of clips, headbands and other accessories with this new-fangled interchangeable technology. You buy all the little pieces then put them together however you want. Pink feather today, blue netting tomorrow. It's just smart. And the vintage look is adorable. And it's a good thing I have a boy, or I'd go broke. Completely.
