I'm so excited - yesterday I found a 100-dollar gift card to Target that we had forgotten to use last year (it was given to us at a shower and then we left for China right afterwards, so we were a little crazed at the time - haha).
Anyways, here's what we ended up with after shopping for Charlotte yesterday...she is only 2, so we aren't really sure what she wants - but I think she will like this stuff!
We ended up getting her a Cabbage Patch 25th anniversary doll. I never had one as I was too old for them by then.

The one we got has black hair and purple eyes.
We also got her this 4-in-1 play yard for her dolls:

And a toy microphone for a buck - it has an echo when you sing into it. :lol:
I also ordered her "Big Bird in China" DVD on Amazon along with one of my old favorite books -
The Monster at the End of this Book.
We used to have Big Bird in China, but then I lost the DVD - so I wanted to replace it.
Oh - and we went to an adoption benefit yesterday afternoon for our friends Dawn and Lee who are adopting from both China AND Haiti, and Adam bid 20 bucks at the silent auction and won:

We may save a few things for next year, too (maybe one or two games since they would be over her head now).
We also have a few other books and DVDs for her. And of course a Christmas ornament - as we have gotten a Christmas ornamanet for her every year since 2005 - since we were waiting for her.
The only thing I really want for myself is a few small stocking gifts and DH and I are hoping to get a Playstation 3 as a big mutual gift to each other, but we will have to see how much money we have once Christmas gets here before we decide on that for sure.
