the LAST day of christmas... vanilly lilly

last but not least... vanilly lilly. i had a vanilla cookie with chocolate filling, my sister had this one:



melissa, maybe now is a good time for you to open the one and only gift i purchased and got to the right person this year. from me to you, tell your kids i blew the entire family budget on you. totally worth it.

and, notes to everyone's comments. (i've been a little behind and had all these posts scheduled at the beginning of the month, so i am just now going through the comments! sorry!)

fisher price hospital: Kathleen and Mauri: i am very super jealous you have access to the hospital!!

sesame street: Alison and Meghan: again, jealous. i am thinking maybe we didn't own this one. i think it was a toy in the nursery at church...
Mauri: there was an apartment building!!!

strawberry shortcake: alyssa/soul fusion: will your mom let me come over and play with them?
michele: YOU of all people should know about cafe ole! i am going to find you one.
liz: ok. you know how we now live in the same city and we never see each other. it's because i didn't know you had strawberry shorcakes! coming over soon...

my mandy: melissa: that IS a charlie's angels hair kit. don't remember it, do you?
alyssa/ soul fusion: YOU played with dolls??????
alison: can't wait to see her hair. hopefully she's as adorable as me. ha!
michele: mr mouth! thanks for remembering.

cabbage patch kids: alyssa/ soul fusion: again, YOU played with dolls? i'm naming my next kid lionel. too hilarious
liz: how did you save up for one? did you have an after school job in kindergarten? or were you one of those cool kids who got an allowance??
Genevieve: are they still as expensive?
kari: chandra, no good. but still not beer!
tiffany: i got a fake one the year before. what a horrible plague these things were. disappointed kids and poor parents all around.
michele: smart move on your mom's part. no way i can see you caring about a cabbage patch kid. unless his name was lionel!

my little pony: tiffany: welcome to the party!
michele: are you sure she's your child?

barbie: tiffany: you cannot be serious! prob why you're so well adjusted.
alyssa: you never played with barbies, did you? i think you and michele both had the hippo barbie.
alison: barbie and the rockers- did they all date derek and the rockers?

sheera: janelle: of course sheera would win!
meghan: so sad you don't still have them all! maybe in the basement...

tree tots: kari: so glad i found it. surely it's in your parent's house somewhere!
ttlyeightmom: holy wow- i don't even remember the people very well. should have held on to some of these!
