Christmas Day, by the Numbers
Here’s some of what was under the tree for 5yo Drake and nearly 3yo Guppy this year:
325 Knex
100 Lincoln Logs
48-piece giant Tyrannasaurus Rex puzzle
48-piece giant Fairy Tale Castle puzzle
24-piece Giant Fire Truck puzzle
36-piece Pirate puzzle
68-piece Lego Building Toy set
82-piece Lego Rebel Scout Speeder
Total: 731 pieces (I fear for the future. Will we break 1000 next year?)
I am thankful that my thoughtful in-laws took some time on Christmas Eve to thin out the boys’ toys so there’d be room for the new ones. The boys didn’t even notice anything was gone. I’ve already had to do several search and rescue missions for missing pieces–some of the Knex are really tiny! Those were a favorite with all the boys: Drake, Guppy, dad G. Grod, Uncle P, and Grampa,
