[blparent] cool gifts?

[Jeri Milton]

Hi Jo Elizabeth.

The Dora one that Kate has is only two floors and it has a window that
changes scenery with the push of a button, from spring to winter etc. Also
lights come on and off. You know, I can't for the life of me remember what
the name of it is. Anyway, I know to buy the separate room furniture packs
can get pricey. I think each room was anywhere from ten to twelve dollars. I
haven't seen the one that you got for Sarah. It sounds cute.

I didn't know there was more than one Dora dollhouse.  This one is called
The Dora Playtime Together Dollhouse, from Wal-Mart.  It has three floors,
and not that much comes with it, so we bought the furniture packs.  We had
already bought other things for Sarah's Christmas when this idiotic Santa at
the mall said she could have the dollhouse if she remembered to be a good
girl, so we scrambled and got it, then saved the other things for her
birthday which will be only two months later anyway.

Hi Jo Elizabeth.
Sounds like Sarah is very happy. Which Dora house is it? Kate got one last
year, but it's pretty small and the toylet doesn't do that. The lid lifts
up, but that's it. Also I didn't know about the aditional pieces that you
can buy to go with it like the pool etc. Are you talking about the Dora and
Me one or a different one? I know, there's so many. But, we did get the cold
as well. Smile.

Sarah got her coveted Dora the Explorer dollhouse.  You aren't kidding about
the toilet.  This one makes flushing sounds and everything.  She got some
money for Christmas, so of course we all had to go to Target, where she got
the swimming pool and the treehouse that go with the main house.  We also
seem to have caught another cold, unfortunately.

Hi,

Those presents sound cool especially the guitar.  My sons got a nintendo
mini which we haven't hooked up yet but I'm sure they'll love since Colyn's
wanted one for awhile now.  Colyn also got a digital light designer and some
leapfrog games.  Remus got some colour wonder books and markers to go with
them as well as a paint palot also by colour wonder.  Ashlyn got a rocking
singing dancing elmo which she loves, and a kitchen set and a doll house
with all the furnature in it, even the toilet.  lol  I got my husband his
harp which he's been wanting for almost his whole life so he says, and of
course that had to come with lessons because he doesn't know how to play it
yet.  I got a replacement for my victor reader stream, or rather, i got a
step up because my husband got me the plextalk.  I really like it, and I got
to give my VR to Colyn who reads his books on it using headphones because
the speaker doesn't work anymore.

Hello, hopefully you and your family had a great holiday.  So what kind of
cool and nifty gifts did your kiddos come away with?
Gab got a Brother's sewing machine which she is waiting patiently to try
out.  Our tables are cluttered right now with Christmas decorations and the
like, so there is no where to set her portable machine.  Santa left a large
bean bag dorm chair and my friend gave her a guitar (hand me down)  She will
soon meet up with her cousins from Florida on the 3rd and they will again
exchange more gifts.  I guess you could say, Christmas day here is a long
lasting event. Haha Anyway, what did you all give or get.
