We went as a family to see Toy Story 3 at the theater. I missed the best part of the whole movie because someone needed to use the bathroom. So the day it came out on DVD I went and bought it. Our kids love Toy Story. We used to have Toy Story 1 & 2, on VHS. I knew I wanted to get the kids these two movies. And then I really wanted to get them the dolls too. The search was on. I had gotten the small(7in) hard plastic dolls at Walmart- I wasn't that excited about them. So Ryan and I looked on e-bay for some of the big(18in) soft dolls. We found some that we were almost going to bid on. Then I thought, I'll just check the Disney Store on-line and see what they have. I was way excited when I saw that they were having a buy one get one free sale on their 18in soft dolls. The excitement was short lived when I discovered they were out of stock. I then decided to call the store at the mall- on the off chance that they had the dolls, and were honoring the sale price. Score- they had all 4 dolls that we wanted and held them all day until 6 o'clock until Ryan could get there. These were my favorite find, these dolls ended up costing just the same as the ones I had purchased at Walmart. The girls, especially Bristyn, play with them all the time.
We had a great drive in the car and made it down to Grandma Karla and Grandpa Gary's house in late afternoon. It was so fun to be there on Christmas day. We opened our presents and gave out our gifts. The snack/appetizer foods were laid out on the table just as always, and they were yummy just as always. That night we tried to go to the movies, meaning we drove about 30-45 min. to the theater and the show was sold out. Plan B- back to Grandma and Grandpa's to play games- it was so fun! The boy cousins played video games and the girl cousins watched a movie. We stayed up too late talking, playing and laughing- it was perfect!
