The great Christmas Debate

Rich and I had this problem last year, what do you get an infant for Christmas? They don't even realize the meaning of the day or the traditions behind the celebration.

Last year we decided to start her college fund as her gift, because what would be a better gift for her in the future?!

This year we were stumped for a while, until we went to Texas in early November. Nora discovered dad's sand horseshoe pits! Much fun was had...see video evidence here.



The "hunt" was ON! We decided to go simple and found a great little ladybug sandbox online. Cost a whopping $40, plus shipping. What a DEAL!



I think we are undecided on whether or not she'll have to wait for the gift or not. But seeing as it's so cold for the next few month I can't imagine her using it much. Maybe as an indoor ball pit until spring? OOOOH, that could be fun. Might have to hit the thrift stores for cheap balls......

walmart sells plastic balls in a big bag in the kid section, not sure how much though. you could go there to get a price and see what else you find though.

Thanks for the info,but Rich has vetoed balls. He cited the fact that Nora would probably just carry them all over the house. This just makes more work for me!
