Hi,
My twins got a step 2 kitchen, disney princess playhut, a tunnel playhut, doll, spin and dance pablo, dora bath toy, bouncing zebra thing, sing and learn interactive toy(2) from fisher price, bean bag chairs from pottery barn kids, and books, hooded towels, and such. My house looks like a toy store vomitted in it. LOLOLOL.

 

We got the Elmo chairs, too. One of ours isn't working either. I hope it's just the batteries. They got two FP Rockin' Puppies, two TMX Elmo's, two Cabbage Patch newborns, two snuggly pink elephants, Elmo Dvd's, Little Mermaid Dvd, Bambi Dvd, night gowns, pj's, and rubber duckies.
Oops! I forgot to add zebra bouncers.

 

The boys also got the elmo chairs. (did you all try the switch in the back? there is a try me and a regular on switch) Plus they got, bath toys (foam letters, numbers and two rubber duckies). A swing 1,2,3 baseball thing, some weeble wobbles characters, big boy plates (with teh suction bottom) big boy spoons and forks, a Ball pit (yes a ball pit and they LOVE IT), A pooh knows your name and a elmo knows your name. Plus they have more coming from Grandma tomorrow and another grandma next week. I live in a two bedroom apartment. The ball pit takes up half their open space in there bedroom. I need a bigger place.

So far the biggest hit is one of the smaller gifts. It's a Seasame Street purse with all these little accesories in it.

Other gifts off the top of my head:
Activity table and chairs
Radio Flyer wagon w/seats (can't really use it till spring though)
they did like sitting in it in the family room
FP play kitchen (will set up tonight)
Sleepy time Uniqua
Little People Bus
Tractor w/ farm animals
Pajamas
Lots of books, including a signed book by Eric Carle, cool!
Baby Einstein DVD's

 

Yeah we even tried to replace the batteries. It was weird because you have to pull that tab off on the back of the chairs and this one didn't even have one. I debating on tackling Wal-Mart tomorrow but I will see how brave I am tomorrow

 

Two things stand out as BEST gifts (pat on my own back):

1) As hoped the #1 gift is these $9.99 glockenspiels I bought on Amazon -- an excellent deal! These sound great and the girls are in love with them. Here's the link (unfortunately they are nw $14.99 but still an excellent deal): LMI 25-Note Bell Set.

2) This is definitely our BIG gift -- a last minute stroke of genius on my part. And they love it. It's like this, but currently at the level where they can just put the ball in (and other things too): ESPN Grow 2 Pro Basketball Net. My girls are going to be tall (as well as musical geniuses -- might as well harness it!)

 

Yes, I agree with the "toy store vomitted all over my house" comment - that and a book store & clothing department!!

We got the twins:

A "Ryan's Room" 3 piece canvas club house, tunnel & tent set
2 cell phone/key ring sets from Walmart (Walmart brand)
2 plush toddler chairs - pink puppy & gray kitty (the kid's like EACHOTHER'S chairs!)
2 small plush elmo dolls
A metal Tonka dump truck for McAuley (his favorite!)
2 elmo staw cups/snack dishes (one straw cup is broken already...grrr)
New Hillsong's Kid's CD
2 small toy brooms from the Dollar Store
2 plastic containers with lids and handles from the Dollar Store (kindda like a larger wipes container!)

What else they got from family & friends:
(They also received 24 gifts for each day leading up to Christmas (from my IL's!! Mostly clothes, some books and some other things)

Clothes, clothes and more clothes.
Books, books and more books
Little People Farm
Little People Noah's Ark
Stuffed Puppy (Zayne)
Box of wipes (YAH!!)
Photo Christmas ornaments
Playskool Busy Gears(McAuley LOVED this)
Baby Doll with accessories & metal wagon (Walmart Brand) (Zayne)
A box of Gerber Graduates fruit jelly things - my SIL got them in the US, we don't have those ones in Canada yet. The kids LOVED them!
Did I mention clothes?
2 Large plastic totes for storage/toys
Pink Ballerina suit (Zayne)

That's what I can remember...

Ya, we had fun! The kids got pretty tired of opening presents...they were very blessed!

 

Clothes

Lets just say mom has alot of tidying up to do

 

We got them way too much...but their favorite part is the Thomas train table and engines. Now I have to figure out how for them to keep it nice and pretty and not take the trains away from the table. But they are all excited about the choo choo stuff.

Us too!! Kenna just loves it (so does my three year old son!). Mitchell got the sesame street dr kit and loves that!

They love the bounce and spin zebra thing and their step 2 up and down roller coaster. The got little laptops that they love as well. Kenna is really into baby dolls now so she loved her stroller (even though we already had 2 in the house my ils thought she needed another). She loves to feed the babies.
They got other stuff but they don't seem to be playing with the other little people/weebles type stuff.

We got the chairs too and one of the tabs broke off inside the battery compartment. Once I opened it up and pulled the rest off it worked.

We also got a radio flyer pathfinder wagon, fisher price sing and go choo choo with all accessaries, two large plush elmos who talk, a talking ernie, teletubbies that talk and walk, the happy feet penguin who talks and dances, little people cars, peg puzzles, tj berrytales(the talking bear who tells stories)toy vacuum cleaners,
Wow! That's a lot now that I look at it written down. There is more, but I can't remember right now. Hopefully, the novelty of new twins, grandchildren, etc. will wear off some before they are old enough to become spoiled.
