Both kids love the walkie talkies. It's hilarious to hear them on it, especially H.
H loves all of his costumes: donkey kong, police man, fireman. His mario castle, kinetic sand, doctor's kit and Mario backpack/lunch kit.
He didn't care for the legos, imagine ink, water wows, binoculars.
M loves her LOL stuff, all of the barbies and color reveal barbies, Uno, granny game, floor is lava game...she says she loves it all. Lol.

Cadence said her favorite things were the build your own gumball machine and the wheelchair/cast set for her AG dolls.
Haven't seen any misses just yet. Probably the books I got her.

L: pretty much loves everything except for this one book. His favorites are his scooby doo sets, beyblades, more magic treehouse books, and jack jones books
E: if you ask her she loves everything. However she favors her tractor setting that plays animal noises, her pound puppy, and this plate tray thing she likes to transport the animals on. She hasn’t paid too much attention to her dolls she got unless I touch them.
Each kid still has a present arriving. A hat for E from my sister T and more magic treehouse books from E and Dexter to L.

For both boys the switch was a huge hit. As was the games for it from mil and fil. Trampoline isn't together yet but I know it will be for all 3 kids.
Bil and his fiancé got them these 5 pillow things that you can fold into chairs, all 3 kids are in love with them.
M: bakugon ring and extra bakugon, all his minecraft and Pokémon shirts, bow and arrow from my parents, dinosaur robot from mil and fil.
J: grain elevator, kinex, legos, minecraft shirts, robot from mil and fil.
MJ: she loves everything. Vet set, purse, jewelry, vacuum, water baby, bath toys, double baby stroller, little big wheel.
No real misses.

We didn’t get the girls that much this year for Xmas and I feel like they have liked and played with everything. Top of the list I would say are the our generation dolls, lego sets, S’s M&D vet set and H’s toy microwave.

B’s favorite was the Barbie Dream House (which i would’ve guessed). She doesn’t seem to care for the Merida doll she got, which is the only present still in its packaging.
C’s surprise hit was his rescue bots. I figured he’d like them but didn’t know how much he’d love them. He’s been carrying them around since Xmas day.

chrisy01 we just started the Magic Tree House series. Cadence really likes them. B got the first 4 of MTH for his birthday and loved them...we blew threw them so I'll prob order some more. Actually I was pleasantly surprised, they held C's attention, too (I read aloud to them together at night). We just started the Boxcar Children series last night...so far, so good. |

Hits: For B: def. the air hockey table, Nerf stuff (no surprise), watch For C: Barbie Dream House and all related Barbie gear, this pup (last-minute impulse buy from my mom, go figure), a karaoke set Both kids love the Twister game that C received. Can't really think of any clear-cut misses (B would tell you clothes, lol) but I know they got a couple things from one over-zealous relative that will quickly end up not played with/donated. |

Legos were a big hit for both kids. H loves his air hogs monster truck and dinosaur treehouse set. N seems to to like her Barbie care clinic and camper. Oh, and both kids love the keyboard and drum mat from ILs... (thanks ILs)
H doesn’t seem interested in the over the door basketball hoop. But we also don’t have a great door for it, which I should have thought about.

Everything seems to be a hit (well minus, a weaving kit I got Josie— we can t exactly figure out how to use it. Will have to YouTube).
The things they have played with daily side they opened them. A karaoke machine, jenga, these remote controlled cars that have big soft fluffy wheels, and more magnatiles. Josie got a cute series of books called Ada Lace (they are written by Emily from Emily’s Wonder Lab) and Charlie got the Calendar Mysteries which are another set of the A to Z series but featuring the. Younger sibilants.
The biggest hit for me were spinning cutting boards. We’ve used them for snacks, condiments on the table, and I’ll set the biggest one up for NYE appetizers.

I’m at a loss too 🤔. We have the wooden version that had just two sides & a round one, but those just have ordinary big needles! But that wouldn’t be an option for the one you have, I’m guessing there trying to make it easier...? |

guster I believe you run the hook over/under then put the fabric on the end, then pull it back through. It is to make the over/under part easier.

A played with L's Barbie Camper yesterday ALL DAY, so I guess that's a hit for him haha. He just likes how it has wheels and so many things open and close.
