Mine. Mine. Mine!

There are SO many really cool toys to buy for kids these days!

So so many.

We were really impressed with how well we refrained from buying too much for Piper for Christmas.

There really was not an excess of toys from Santa, friends or family.

Piper's first birthday, however, proved to be quite the opposite!

She received A LOT of toys and other presents.

Packages are still arriving daily from my lovely friends and family.

I thank you all for your generosity 

and I feel truly blessed to share you all with Piper!

HOWEVER,

be warned!!

No matter how amazing the gift that you send is....

someone else's is better. 

Just ask Blue!

I had thought that it was going to be difficult to teach Blue not to touch Piper's toys...

turns out I had it completely backwards.

The Christmas/Birthday loot!

But... this is where I spend at least 30 minutes every day!

Yes, this green thing with chewed-off eyes and ears IS fun!

Thirty minutes later.... this is still fun. Sigh!
