Hi everyone!
Marble run went down really well. I had a moment of panic when I opened it last night as I'd built it up so much in my head (the first half of it I ordered on sale on Boxing Day last year!) and I briefly wondered if I'd misjudged it but they love it.
Ashamed to say today wasn't even an NSD!
We watched zootropolis and I downloaded the soundtrack because it's fab (I LOVE Michael Giacchino)
And that twitch present, the transformers book? DS is in love with it. DD's favourite present was the microscope - I knew the Caglets would like it but I never expected the huge gasp of joy and excitement! We are already talking about what we are going to look at (there are some slides included and I'd bought a set of insect slides too but there are also blank ones so we can make our own! Suggestions include spiders and bogeys
)
Definitely pleased that overall we bought less this year. I was so tempted to twitch on more toys (since most of the presents under the tree were books/clothes and definitely less actual toys to play with) but they are totally in love with what they have, it's plenty and they are very lucky. I don't know why I felt it wasn't enough before. But oddly DD said today "I think this year we have been spoiled by santa more than ever!" even though he brought markedly less (in terms of both volume and cost, not that they'd know the latter obviously).
Just having a chill out while DD and DH build a bionicle figure and DS plays the Wii game he got from DSD. Hence waffling here! After that it's Shrinkles-making and board games.
