When Neil Patrick Harris sat down with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night, the subject of his and husband David Burtka's adorable twins, Harper and Gideon, came up. Apparently, the precocious 6-year-olds have some very interesting picks for their Christmas lists this year, including life-size rocket ships and massive doll houses. "We live in the city. That's what I said to him — 'Where are we supposed to put a life-size rocket?'" the A Series of Unfortunate Events star joked. "Our daughter, Harper, asked for a pink karaoke machine. Pink? I get the karaoke part but does it need to be pink?"

His daughter also took a page out of her brother's book by asking for a life-size doll house. "The other thing that Harper asked for was a doll house, but a life-size doll house for her," he continued. "And I said . . . she's 48 inches tall. I said, 'Harper, a life-size doll house is just a house. You want me to get a house for you?' And she said, 'Yeah.' And I said, 'What is it with these giant gifts? Where do we put a life-size doll house that's large enough for you or a person?' And she said, 'On the roof.'" NPH was also kind enough to share a photo of Gideon's handwritten list on Instagram, and it's just as cute as you can imagine.
