i am so glad christmas is over. we are still reaping the benefits as gifts continue to arrive. can we say--SPOILED?!! chris and i did not follow our one gift per child rule this year as i was afraid gifts from family/friends may not arrive in time. we did a budget guideline instead. i think it worked out rather well, although we could have used more restraint on ourselves ;) it was a good christmas. my parents bought mya a little people zoo set. it is/was her favorite to open. she wanted that baby out of the box immediately. both she and claire have enjoyed putting the animals in their little habitats and of course, the cute little carrying case that mya seems to think is her purse. so sweet. we got claire a fisher price iXL and my parents and santa got her some games. she is in love. i must say that i am pretty impressed with my find as well. this little machine can do everything--writing, drawing, games, reading, photo viewing, mp3 player, and of course, learning tools. it will definitely get used. even mya thinks she can put it to good use. both kiddos got alot of educational toys, which are awesome--who doesn't love melissa and doug products and i found a great little button art set for mya so she can create pictures. it is by alex toys. love them too. columbia jackets/snow pants, shoes, blocks, puzzles, fingerpaint, dvd's, and a few other odds and ends rounded out their loot. oh, the bouncy house thing a ma jig hasn't arrived yet, but that is their "big" gift from chris and i. i think that may be the biggest hit yet. hopefully it withstands the rough play.
oh yeah--i have more pics to upload, but i actually used all the "free" storage that google provides. i had to purchase more, so it may be a day or so. sadly, my computer is in the shop. my cd/dvd drive isn't working, so i can't install my new software. i am hoping it can be fixed. the tech guy wasn't so sure. a new computer may be in my future....
i also have cute video, so stay tuned....
