Twistie ties suck!!!
I must have taken off a hundred twistie ties this weekend. Why do they need to put 1 on every corner of everything in the box? Megan picked out a Graco swing for her baby and I really wanted to throw it in the dumpster. It was exactly like a real sized one to put together. She woke up this morning and started it up and the added bonus is this one has music. JOY!!! She loves loves loves her LuvCub. I liked playing with him too. He takes a bottle and makes cute little sounds. He plays peek-a-boo and loves hugs. Jared is thrilled with his YuGiOh Duel Disk. He recieved another one from my aunt so we need to make a trip to Toys R Us today so he can exchange it and use his gift card from my dad. Megan and I went yesterday. What was I thinking? This was a happy Christmas in the D house. Our apartment dumpster is still full so we have 3 big bags full of paper and boxes to throw out. Last year this would have driven me crazy, but I'm content to watch the kids make a mess with their toys. One day the toys will be gone and they'll be grown up so we might as well enjoy it while we can. Robby and Megan are out at the car trying out Robby's new air compressor I picked up yesterday. It's a vaccum, air compressor, and light all in one. Not bad for $20!! I was really excited to see the snow on Christmas Eve. Tracie and I played in it more than our kids I think. It was the talk of Christmas at Memaw's. It was sad Steven couldn't be there with us, but I know he was looking down at us from Heaven.

You are so right about the twist ties. I was thinking the same thing. The amount of garbage and recyclables we put out this past week was insane and as we slowly unpack gifts, it keeps piling up for next week. I really appreciate things that don't have excess packaging now.
I agree, I hate those things..and cutting them off rarely works..you have to sit and fuss with each one!! And I remember the days of bags of trash..ugh. Since we have less toys to buy now, it's getting better. One year, we had to sit and wait a week before the trash was empty enough to pitch.
I'm so glad you all had a great Christmas...sounds wonderful.
