The best toy ever.
Apr. 2nd, 2010 03:21 amWhen I was 5 years old, I had a magical birthday party at Burger King. You see, I remember wanting a party at McDonald's the year before - like, it seemed, all my friends had had - but they were already booked for my birthday weekend (Nov. 13th), and I was so sad. The same thing happened for my fifth birthday, but my mom saved the day by booking Burger King.
On that magical day, I received the most magical of gifts: a Sesame Street playhouse.
It came with a handful of SS character figurines, as well as a couple of beds, chairs, and even some playground equipment. Over the years, I played the HECK out of this thing - it was my very favorite toy.
When A.J. was a babe (seven months or so), I visited my grandpa in Virginia. In his basement, I found my mom had stashed a few of my old toys, including this playhouse. I snagged it SO FAST, and I held onto it until A.J. was old enough to play with it, too. He loved it for years, as did Jack later on. Now that they are older, I've given away most of their toys, but this one still remains in my house. I keep it ready, too, in case a friend with a little one drops in.
Now, a dear little girl was turning 2 years old this past November, and when we went shopping for her birthday gift, Philip and I stumbled upon an amazing gem: a 25th anniversary edition of my beloved playhouse!
