There were clothes and pajamas, musical instruments, legos, bath toys, Little People, books, CDs, puzzles, DVDs&#8230;  Carrie has a lot of people who love to spoil her!  I am also now an expert on which toy brands have the most obnoxious packaging.  (Fisher Price is the absolute worst, with Leap Frog a close second.)<\/p>\n<p>By far the largest gift that Carrie opened was from my parents.  For a week now we haven&#8217;t been allowed in their house on account of the &#8220;pony&#8221; they had gotten for Carrie, which was residing in their living room.  The &#8220;pony&#8221; turned out to be one of those indoor\/outdoor playhouses, which Carrie absolutely adores.  It has a realistic-looking and sounding phone, a working doorbell, shutters and a door to open and close.  We&#8217;re already planning to add a light, some curtains and a rug, and I&#8217;m going to use a Toys &#8216;R&#8217; Us gift card she got for her birthday on some dishes and play food for it.  Now we just need to find some space for it in our house!<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20051225_house.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/carolyn\/20051225_house.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/center>Denis and I were also apparently very good.  He got a turkey fryer&#8230;actually two, because my brother thought my parents <i>weren&#8217;t<\/i> getting him one but then they decided to anyway.  Between us we have some new DVDs, a computer-turned-kleenex box holder, an ice cream maker that doesn&#8217;t use electricity&#8230;and I got another really neat gift that I&#8217;ll blog about tomorrow since this entry is already incredibly long.
