Whoever my mega amazing plushie secret Santa is, thank you so much. My daughter was beyond thrilled when we got home and saw the package. I told her when I signed up, that'd she would be getting her very own present (after doing several exchanges, she has been wanting to get something in the mail) so when I saW the plushie exchange, I knew it would be perfect. This girl has mountains of stuffed animals and toys, all that have their very unique story and families.

When I filled it out, I mentioned that My Neighbor Totoro holds a pretty special place for us because it was one of the first movies she saw and actually obsessed over it and wanted a Totoro.

She was absolutely crazy about it when we opened it. When I secretly out batteries in it and turned it on for her, she snatched it from me and gasped and told me all the colors Totoro was turning. She said it looks the cutest when turning pink, though.

Sorry for the crappy pictures, it's still daylight out but it does have very bright colors. She had already told me that she is going to sleep with him forever and ever.

I want to thank my gifter so much. You exceeded anything I hoped for her to receive. :)

Update: she just fell asleep on our couch, holding her new friend.
