Gifts From Aunt Carla


My Sister Carla sent the kids each a gift a couple of weeks back. I didn't tell them about it and they were so excited when this big box arrived. I kept the box in the living room and told them we'd open it in the morning. So the next day we took out the one for Ava and we all got to enjoy playing blocks until it was time for school. Then in the evening, we took out the second gift, a fishing game for Thomas. The kids went crazy and we spent a good hour or two trying to catch all the fish in the game over and over again. The game comes with little fishing poles and the fish pop out of the 'water' with their mouths open.

But the biggest surprise came for Ameya the next day when she came home from school. The other kids were taking naps so it was just the two of us. Since this is really something just for her, we sat on the sofa and opened the last gift, a leap pad with two stories books. This is an awesome gift for Ameya as she really enjoys playing on computer type toys and she loves reading and this is both.

Thank you for the fun gift - Carla!
