This round of Secret Santa didn't include much that I was interested in, but since my three year old is extremely passionate (lol) about My Little Pony and Hello Kitty, I decided to sign up for MLP on her behalf instead. I didn't tell her anything about it other than having her help me shop for things for my giftee (she was very picky about choosing once I told her my giftee's favorite Pony!) so it was a complete surprise when she received two "unexpected" packages in the mail yesterday.

She has a lot of Ponies, figurines, shirts and posters (and even though we rarely go to McDonald's, we have all of the current Pony toys because even without TV she somehow knew - kids, lol) but one thing she doesn't yet have are the Equestria girls dolls, so when she opened up her first package, she actually screamed in delight. She has now been carrying Rainbow Dash around for 24 hours straight. We took it to the park last night, out to dinner and then to ice cream. It slept in her bed, and it is currently sitting beside her as she eats breakfast.

The second gift she received was a Rainbow Dash playpack, which while she has also been carrying it everywhere, hasn't been opened yet because she says "I'm gonna save it for when you take me somewhere boring".

Thanks, Santa! My daughter wasn't just happy with her presents, but delighted that she actually got her own presents this time instead of mommy ;)
