Christmas gift(s) as a child?
For me I'd have to say my easy bake oven, liddle kiddle dolls, and the beautiful vanity that my parents made for me. It had a purple floral flocked material skirt my mom made for it, and a tri fold mirror that sat on top. Dad made the the actual vanity out of wood, and sanded and painted it white. I felt like a princess the first time I sat at it!

| A basketball. Don't remember getting much girlie stuff. However, I still have one of my dolls. She is sitting in an antique rocker in my bedroom. The only reason she survived is because I didn't play with her. |

| I think it had to be the cradle my dad made for my dolls (except I didn't like dolls) so I would dress up our incredibly patient cat, Fritz, in bonnets and baby gowns and put him in there. |

Several things pop to mind.... a metal dollhouse, my first stereo, easy bake oven, a handmade donkey from my granny... I slept with it for years.

While I did get the traditional dollhouse like most little girls, in true farmer fashion my dad made sure that I also had a barn (not related to the house). It was the coolest thing. It was metal, had a cupola on top and a silo. There was a lot of fencing and so many animals - adults and babies. I loved putting my pigs in the pen and bringing the cows into the stall to eat their hay. When I got older and didn't play with it anymore, it still came out whenever kids were at our house. They always asked to play with the barn. I still have it and I think I'll get it out this year for Christmas. Maybe I'll just leave it out all year for inspiration!
God bless -

My cedar hope chest. It was the only gift I can remember that I was told that my Dad picked out for me all by himself.:) I was remember being disappointed at not seeing it under the Christmas tree that year, but little did I know that my parents had a little scavenger hunt for we children that year. Mine let me into Dad's workshop where my beautiful cedar waited for me!! :O)
It is no longer my hope chest, but is now my chest of memories one of which itself will always hold of my Dad that year.

My bouncing wonder horse. His name was Trigger just like Roy Roger's steed. I spent many happy hours riding away and he was passed on to our neighbors young kids after the four of us got too old for him. |

I loved my easy bake oven, book box sets, any Barbie stuff and a beautiful blue sweater and skirt set I got when I was in 7th grade. Most of all, I loved when my family all together at my Grandparents house.
