Christmas Present

I was really proud of myself for doing all of E's Christmas shopping on-line and finished it a few days ago. I warned my friend that was getting E off the bus that boxes would start arriving and to make sure she didn't let E open any.

Today I came home and my friend informed me with a really sad face that "we had a situation."

Evidently the dollhouse came today... in its original package with colorful pictures of it all over the box. E saw it immediately. We always use the side door and it was left at the front door which is why the sitter didn't see it.

Lots of tears later she is finally asleep. Thankfully there are several weeks before Christmas and hopefully she will forget about it. It was so sad.
