i got a dollar, i got a dollar

we loved all of our presents this christmas; however, there is one that takes the cake. was it the season 1 dvd of "ugly betty?" no. was it the "murder, she wrote" puzzle? no. perhaps the yard o' beef? nope. are you ready? the award goes to...drumroll please...aunt donna and uncle phil for giving us the hardest-worked-for present this christmas: the a-maze-ing bank. and was it ever amazing! mor and i each spent about 20min working on it today; then loaned it to claire and ryan and tish and gloria, and we were all left empty-handed. until...

that little ball is lucky i didn't swear at it more than i did. filthy bugger.

and just when i was about to throw the damn box on the floor and smash it to smithereens with a pink-handled hammer...

hoorah! and yea! and thank you, thank you, thank you! definitely the most fun christmas gift yet. anyone care to challenge?
