Swaps and trees.
Wow, what a thoughtful group you all are! Many thanks! I’m going to respond in a few and get a couple of swaps going. I don’t think too many, though, since that’s a lotta packages for me to send out right at Christmas.
Emily likes dolls, fairies, mythical creatures (including dragons, skeletons, ghosts and such, contrary to her usual pink tendencies), things from the gummi food group, pencils, word search/maze type games, things that rhyme, and things that are silly or the opposite of the way they should be. Also, Christmas. Christmas Christmas Christmas. Wow does she love Christmas. Really, though, she’s all over the map. She wants those Ty Girlz for Christmas, but also tells us she wants a can of snakes for her birthday. You can’t really go wrong.
Emily doesn’t have any dietary restrictions, although she doesn’t care for chocolate bars. I know, how can this be a child of mine?
We got our tree this past weekend. As you can see, we went with our usual mini-tree. We don’t have very many ornaments, and this size tree is about as big as we can get without having a lot of bare spots.
We might go a little bigger next year, though. Because this year, our old friend the Enterprise was joined by another high-tech ornament… Serenity! Woot! Ho ruttin’ ho! Of course, contrary to the way it would be in real life… okay, not real life, but you know what I mean… Serenity completely dwarfs the Enterprise. Eh, good enough.
I actually ordered this last November, but backorders meant it didn’t come in until February. It’s been sealed up in its box until now. Of course, when I opened it I saw that it comes with a display base, meaning I could have had it out all year. Live and learn.
Okay, almost Heroes time. Back later!
