Margaret's Christmas part II

This post is dedicated to Margaret's God Grandmother, Tee, who has once again managed to outdo herself in the present department. Suffice it to say that the clerk at the post office was quite concerned that I was going to try to get the boxes(!) home on my own. With so much practice from Tee's presents, Margaret managed to get the hang of ripping off wrapping paper to find the present inside.

"Hello? Tee? Thank you!"

As if the foam animals weren't enough, these ones talk!

Boxes are still as much fun as what's inside them

"Who are you?"

"A new wardrobe!"

She insisted on putting these pants on as soon as she found them.
This is the only photo we could get with the matching hat. So cute!

"sniff, sniff sniff" (Margaret's rabbit sound)

In the box

And in the lid

"Can I get you some tea?"


She played with the lid for a good 10 minutes

The tongue helps her focus

"Wuh, wuh, wuh!" (generic animal sound)

Thanks, Tee! We love you!

Happy New Year! Great pictures. I am really curious - is that a MacMahan board game on the couch? Can't wait to play seaweed train with Margaret at the beach this summer. xox, Rachel

Sorry for the belated reply, but, unfortunately, that's NOT a MacMahan Board game.

Sylvia painted a wonderful oil on canvas of MacMahan for us for our Christmas present and it is now brightening up our living room.

You did get me thinking, though, and I looked into having a custom Monopoly MacMahan board game made (our SVP of Marketing used to run Parker Brothers), as a promotional item to sell in the lodge.

Sadly, the minimum order was 5,000 units. I don't think we can make that work.
