so she invited a few of her favorite people to come to her house.
And she knew that guy she married really liked food,
so she made lots of food.
Her friends knew that he really liked food,
so they brought lots of food.
She also liked presents,
so she told her friends to bring gifts for each other.
Now she really liked children and so did her friends,
so these were no ordinary gifts.
These were gifts that would be given to children in need.
Her friends came.
And so did her brother.
They ate and laughed and talked and had a jolly good time.
And they each brought a present
that reminded them of one of their friends.
See this friend, she talks on her phone (a lot).
This friend went to see Star Wars and then married Princess Leah.
This friend likes to play in the dirt.
This friend is a super sweet Mama!
This friend broke his leg sliding into home plate
and fortunately found a helpful nurse at his home.
These two friends have been mistaken for Ken and Barbie.
And this guy, the one she married, he has stood in more than one overnight lines for a well-priced laptop.
After all the laughs were unwrapped they put these under the tree.
“Merry Christmas little ones,
may these gifts remind you of the true gift of Christmas!”
Oh, and the party girl? She got this.
Some people think she likes words.
That is a great little story! I’m a little embarassed that I’m always by the food table in the pictures:) It was a very fun party! Thanks!…shanel
Oh, Shanel, eating and talking on the phone (all the time) are so fun though, right!?
What a great job you did retelling your toy party evening, Rachel. Very cute. I now have enjoyed reading about your party as well as hearing about it from you. I’m so sad we were in the hospital instead of there with you sharing our gifts as well! But so glad to see pictures of the friends, and you, and the food. Now I can pretend I was there:)
What a wonderful idea for a party – and what fun pictures! Sounds like a great time!
I have to say that I am a little hurt that I wasn’t invited. I mean after all, I only live hundreds of miles away from you. I could have gotten an airplane toy or a car or something……. great idea for a party. I may have to try that at my house next year. Merry Christmas!
Wonderful idea, Rachel! On Christmas morning, think of all the children opening your gift across our Twin Cities. Smile, for you made dreams come true and Christmas a lot brighter.
What a great, fun idea! It looks like YOU all had a fun time as well!!
Very, very cool idea! Looks like it was fun too!
