So, Annie's become quite the fan of "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" this holiday season.
She wants it read to her every single night. And sometimes during the day a few times.
She's seen the Jim Carrey version a few times now, and giggles the whole time and keeps asking, "When does the Grinch have his awful, wonderful awful idea?"
Then tonight the cartoon was on television. Seeing her favorite book in cartoonish color was like a dream come true. She loved it, and was in a constant state of excitement the whole time. Ellie surprised me though, as she too would laugh and squeal and point every time the Grinch came on screen.
The funniest part though was just a minute or two in, when the Grinch is reminiscing about Christmases past, and he's talking about all the different noise making gifts they'll open ("the noise, noise, noise, noise!") Across the screen rolls a Who loudly riding on a floo-floober (a one man band looking contraption), and Annie's eyes and mouth fly open, she turns to me and shrieks, "Mommy! Can I have one of those for Christmas?"
(I tried to find a picture or clip of the movie that had the noisy toys -- turns out YouTube AND Google Images searches turn up nothing. Who knew?!)

Shoot! That might be one of the things, like the new bathroom sink, that just doesn't fit in Santa's sleigh!
I remember when I was little I wanted the one that had like five or six seats with everyone playing a different instrument. I don't remember what that one was called, but I understand Annie completely. :)
Ah, too bad Santa already got to work on that Dollhouse. Way to plan ahead there, SANTA!
I love Jim Carrey's Grinch. Seriously a hilarious movie.
