Simone got many presents for her birthday. One came quite as a surprise to her and to me. Grace and I had previously talked about getting her the girl-geared Legos Friends. I told Grace how Simone likes the little scientist / inventor kit. But Grace generously gave Simone the ultimate Lego set. The Friends house!!! What was so great was that Simone had been eyeing a dollhouse just a few days before. We were at a fancy schmancy boutique toy store so the dollhouse was going to cost a fortune and Simone was already requesting that I built furniture for the house. Pshyah! And now she has something even better. The house and the furniture and an abundance of building blocks to make more furniture and acoutrements!
This picture is blurry most likely because I was squealing myself at the shock of the wonderful gift.
Grammy sent Simone AND Max gifts of books, pencil cases, stickers, pencil toppers, coloring books, and, their latest craze, flavored milk straws. And that was just the beginning! Ma gave them extra money to get more toys and they came home with quite a stash.
Max has a crush on the little girl "Boo" in Monsters, Inc., and saw this as an opportunity to get her as a doll so he can have her by his side all the time!
The moment I told Simone that her Grammy wants to give her more presents, she shouted out, "Baby Alive!!!"
This particular doll talks and walks! What an advancement toys have made since I was a kid!
Thank you, Family, for showering the kids with love and much enjoyment.
