Halleigh's Garden

This is by far one of Halleigh's favorite toys. She has one at church that she plays with and we really thought it was cute. So we decided that we would get her one for home. It was to be her big Christmas gift, but after searching and searching we found out that they are not made anymore. We were devastated until we went to craigslist and low and behold we found it and in GREAT shape.

The mailbox has envelopes that she loves to play with and a flag that goes up and down. In the back there are holes with vegetables in them that she can plant and pick over and over again. It has a squeaky bird above the vegetable planter. There are three twirling birds on a pole on the "window" ledge. There is a squeaky doorbell and fun bendie flowers, under which there is a little tunnel. The front door is also great, since it has a doorknob and a catch so it feels more real to Halleigh. We find the mail all over the house and the mailbox, more often than not, is a holder for her cell phone.

Timmy liked it too. "We just got a letter, we just got a letter, we just got a letter...wonder who's it from?"

Elijah has the same garden. He loves it too. The mailbox is his favorite part. (One thing we do is put our junk mail in his mailbox for him to find. I also have cut out pictures and put them on index cards and hidden them in there--its a big hit).
