It was the months of saving and dreaming and anticipation that made her so valuable to me!Hill Country Hippiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723660054417859671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227735267789306069.post-33122652291905776652008-12-17T09:17:00.000-08:002008-12-17T09:17:00.000-08:00Ohhhh!

I had a great time helping them do their drawings with it--and did a few for myself!Pat's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569560070613448167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227735267789306069.post-8227347880195454362008-12-17T06:52:00.000-08:002008-12-17T06:52:00.000-08:00What an amazing girl you must have been to put on ...What an amazing girl you must have been to put on a brave face for Mom! And how cool you worked through the disappointment together.<BR/><BR/>They still make spirographs! I gave my older daughter one last Christmas - and my youngest gets an Etch-a-Sketch from Santa <I>this</I> year.

I agree with Joanne, its the memory more than the actual toy itself. The anticipation for Christmas morning ended for me around 16-17 but quickly returned with my daughter's first...I think I was more excited to see her face than she was about the toys.

I guess that's what makes something like a simple toy so special.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.com
