The Girl got a pony for Christmas!

This post will include a RIDICULOUS amount of pictures!

We did not get The Girl a whole lot of Christmas presents;
1) I don't have all the money in the world,
2) I don't want to make Christmas about presents and 'getting', and
3) she's still young enough that we can get away with it! :)

She had what we considered 3 'big' gifts (and one of them we didn't even purchase, thanks Aunt D, it is a huge hit!) and then a handful of little items.

I bought a small pony at Sam's Club almost 2 months ago, he has been hiding in our garage in a GIGANTIC contractor's size garbage bag since then. (I was beginning to feel really bad about it too... it was cold out there and a plastic bag could kill him! ;)

ANYWAY.... C went and got the girl up around noon (she is SO THE BEST sleeper! This new guy has big shoes to fill!!!) Here is the picture of her seeing her 'neigh' for the first time... the rest will have to be random and without caption b/c there will seriously be too many photos.



I'm pretty sure she likes it. I've named it Honey.





She had to give it a hug! How adorable is that???



and back on she goes... again, I'm pretty sure she likes it. What do you think? :)



A self inflating whoopie cushion... oh what joy it brings! (The dogs HATE it though! LOL)






Daddy 'beeped'!


This is what I was afraid of... it is her saying and signing for 'more'. In her defense there was a pile of wrapped things in her sight....



Books! YAY! We LOVE books!



I think she's 'getting' the whole present thing now...





We couldn't get it out of the packaging fast enough!






hmmm who is more excited?




Of course we couldn't forget the doggers! They each got their own stuffed elephant thing.





Waiting for Daddy to open one of his things.



This Cookie talks and she was letting him talk to Tigger (who is on her stocking) which was a gift to me from C a million years ago when we were still just dating.



Such concentration:





Who knew this would be SUCH A HIT!







That went on for quite a while, I might add. :D And we have shows nightly! (and daily and anytime she can corner one of us into either joining her or watching her)




The above little gem was just 2 little plastic sesame street figures. They don't do ANYTHING, I just thought she would think it was cool to have a 'Nernie'. Guess who has to go to Target now? ME! Because some genius packaged 'Nernie' with Big Bird and NOT Bert!!! The first thing she said after identifying the two characters... Where's Bert? Who can blame her!?!? So, I'll be heading out to Target this week in search of Bert. (I have to, she gets the OCD from SOMEONE!!!!!!) :)
