I just LOVED watching my Granddaughter devouring all her gifts.... she had total sensory overload trying to figure out WHICH gift to play with, and whether or not to open another or play with the last one! LOL

... then it dawned on me.. that grandpa was the one that they meant by "... some assembly required..."

FB, You need to post some updated pics of your granddaughter!! I have only seen the one of you holding her when she was first born!!!

Peaches,
That's awesome that for family gets along so well. Mine does too...for the most part....but hubby's side is a different story....although we are getting along better than ever now that his mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer.....sad that it took something like that to make it happen.

The playdough thing sounds so great! I love getting creative at get-togethers and celebrations.

At my sisters wedding, she decided no clanking glasses or even singing songs with 'love' in them for the bride and groom to kiss......she (rather I) made these huge 1.5ft by 1.5ft dice. Each die had 1 set of lips on them, the rest...number. People got up throughout dinner to roll the dice on the dance floor. If you got one set of lips, they kissed normally. If you got two sets of lips, it was a looooong kiss....if you got NO lips, YOU had to kiss someone! It was creative and very fun.

Sharpie,
You go girl!!! Congrats on attaining all your goals!! Not many people can say that. I wish you the best of life in 2004 and that you'll meet that special person to share it all with!!

It was my daughters first xmas. She is only 4.5 months old though and teething. She had an absolutely miserable day and cried through most of the present opening...hahaha. Poor girl.

My 2.5 year old son however, had a BLAST! He opened a few presents, then got to one from grandma....it was a garage with a bunch of cars.....that was it. It ruined it for the rest of the presents....hehe. He had no interest in anything else except the cars and garage....he was adorable.

It was also fabulous to watch my older two open their presents. They are getting older and more mature now, and my present selection reflected that. My oldest (12) got a Lord of the Rings chess set which he adores. My 10 year old got the full hockey gear he wanted and was thrilled. It was soooo awesome to see them so happy.

As for me, I think I like my fuzzy pink slippers the best.
