Merry Christmas!

So...you remember how you go back and see a toy that you played with as a child, and remarking how small the toy is now that you'v grown up?

That didn't happen today.

I decided that it would be cool to get Ella one of those great spring horses for Christmas, just like the one I had as a kid. The price suddenly dropped on Amazon, so I thought I'd grab it before the Christmas rush. It came in today, and because (a) the box was a bit banged up, and (b) I'm horrible at waiting, I decided to put it together so I could see my young one's joy (and feel some of my own). Meredith and Ella went upstairs while I put it together so my little assistant couldn't help me as much.

When she came back down, she said, "Whoa, that's big." And indeed it is.




On the plus side, Ella should be able to ride this horse until well into her college education. We probably won't let her have it in her dorm room though...they're crammed enough as it is.
