Christmas Pictures!

So how many of you still have Christmas decorations up? I do! The halls are still decked at my house. But soon Valentines day will be here, so I aim to take them down this week. For now I want to keep my promise to post pictures of my kids Ponyville Christmas! You may remember this post where I bragged that I found all the sets locally for about $70, a great deal!

Here's a picture of me, my two sisters and my brother in law having a ball setting it all up on Christmas eve while our kids slept in the basement. I am the one in the red.

Even my dad got into the action. Everyone had a blast!

Here is what they woke up to Christmas morning! They absolutely loved the Ponyville sets.

Just for fun I am going to post some other fun toy Christmas pictures from my past. Good times!

You can see my My Little Pony jammies in this one!

 

HAPPY *LATE* HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! HOPE YOUR 2011 BRINGS SOME AWESOME TOY FINDS!

GRAIL WIN! HOORAH!

Yay!! I just won my grail pony! I received Streaky on my 10th birthday, the last pony I ever received in childhood. For months I have been looking for one with the factory curls and last night I won her! Fortunately, I had some eBay bucks so out of pocket she was only about $6. This is great because others I have seen with factory curls have gone for $15+ yay!! So happy!

Christmas is already on my mind. This year my eight-year-old wants Monster High dolls. They are a little pricey though, so I will have to only get her a couple. When I was a child my mother spoiled me rotten on Christmas (we were poor the rest of the year) so I naturally spoil my kids too.I wish I had the money to spoil myself :)

Oh yeah, and remember my post last week about the Precious Places Magic Key Mansion? I found some pictures of me when I was ten on Christmas day:

Today I am going thrifting. It's cold and snowy here in Utah so I hope not too many people are there to compete for the goodies. Wish me luck!

Stuff I got in the mail today

First up, a Precious Places furniture set I won for $5.15 shipped :)

 Here's a picture of what the inside of the Magic Key Mansion looks like when fully furnished. I had this when I was a kid and sold it at a garage sale. I am working on getting the whole collection. With the furniture sets you pretty much have to get them MIB because the pieces are often smaller than a dime.

Here's the set unwrapped. HAPPY!!

Next up, a trade I did with mayanbutterfly on MLPTP. This is called the Country Cuddlers playset. Yay for Smooshees!

Last but not least, a couple of other trades. Surprise is from awhile ago but Ringlets is new. She had her comb too! 

It's funny, I have gone to three thrift stores this week and have found pretty much NOTHING. Well . . . nothing toy-related, that is. I did find this awesome old typewriter made by Royal which is somewhere around 70-80 years old. Still works too!

I really do need to start finding fun stuff at thrift stores soon or else I might get too lost on eBay :)
