Best Gift Ever...

A couple of years ago while living in Manhattan Jon and I came across this 4 foot doll at Rite Aid. We decided it was the perfect gift for my 4 year old niece. I mean who wouldn't want a life size doll? We stuffed this doll in our duffel bag and flew to Utah for Christmas. We actually had to remove the arms and legs to get her to fit inside the duffel bag. The doll was intended for the niece but soon became the prankster on my sister. My brother and his wife (niece's parents) would hide this doll under my sister's covers at night, on the toilet at night and sitting on the couch during the night. It would scare the living daylights out of my sister when she woke-up to go the bathroom or get a drink of water. We would laugh so hard and my sister would scream so loud. Good times. :) I bet Doug and Kristina have more insight on this since Jon and I were just givers of the gift and not the actual pranksters. I came across this picture last night and couldn't help but laugh.

Best $10 I ever spent on a Christmas gift.

You guys suck! I still have nightmares about that doll. Especially once the doll started losing limbs and Doug and Kris would hide the limbs around the house to freak me out!

Yikes! I'm having nightmares right now just looking at that thing. Remember Chucky? "Hi I'm Chucky, wanna play?" Shiver....

Oh you know you liked it Amanda! Doug's favorite was when it was presenting at the bottom of the stairs when you came in the front door. I thought it was great when Doug sneaked in when you were asleep and put it in bed with you... Yeah, you were so mad, but it was so funny.

GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE! Those were the days...
