So this coming weekend, it is my niece Bela's birthday. I couldn't make it to Virginia for her party, so I bought her a gift and had it mailed out there in time for the festivities.
This is what I got her:



A giant stuffed doggie that she's named "Pinky". She loves it. 8)
Now keep in mind Bela and my brother and sister in law live on the East Coast. My brother and I never talked about what to get his daughter for her b-day. We didn't discuss what we each were going to buy as a gift. There are untold thousands upon thousands of different toys to choose from, different kinds, types, whatever. This is what my brother got for his daughter:


She's named him "Browny". So now she's got Pinky and Browny, the 2 giant doggies that are a married couple and she jumps all over them and struggles to pull them both behind her wherever she goes.
How odd is it that of all the gifts we each coulda gotten her, my brother and me buy those? hehe.
