Hi all!

Leslie I have a 13 year old Grabddaughter.

Got her the third Pirates movie dvd, tickets to theater to see the compass movie.

Csi everything, from big crime scene box to the face reconstruction kit.

Real micro scope. She is so science oriented.

Also got her guitar hero lll and gift card to book

store. The suggestion for the HotFixer interested me so I am off to try

and find one on the web.

for all the well wishes Thank-you so much.

True we lost a lot of valuables and memories.

You are all right no one was hurt and Thank God Zoey is okay.

When my nieces outgrew toys, I swithched to buying them one or two good piece of jewelry a year - a nice chain, pendant, earrings, ring, bracelet etc,.

The first year I included a really nice “grown up” jewelry box. I know they weren’t really thrilled with the jewelry at the time. But it was fun for them to see their jewelry box fill up.

Each of them came to me when they were older and told me how much they appreciated having nice jewelry of their own to wear on dates and for special occasions. They have these pieces to this day and I like to believe that they think of me sometimes when they put them on.

I’m back online!!! 2 pages and about 20 piles of leaves raked in my front yard later!

Thank you everyone–I’m seeing some really great suggestions here. I definitely like the “themed basket” idea, and a spa day sounds fun–although we live in the middle of nowhereville and I don’t even know that there is a day spa within 50 miles!

Caitlin–you keep holding out for that pony, babe (you MUST see the T Mobile commercial…I think of you every time it comes on!)

This sounds like a dumb idea….check out the ‘lists’ on places like the “Today Show” (I just saw Yahoo had one, too). Even though, there may not be anything on them, they might ’spark’ an idea.

Have you got the Disney Scene-It Second Edition or the Pirates of the Carribbean Scene-It yet?

Whoever mentioned the convertables…I second that idea. I would be all for that. Or just a car in general.
To help you out….
My Christmas List:
-World Peace
-A Pony
-Either really good bras, or a breast reduction about 10 years from now.
-A Democrat in the White House in 2008…haha
No but seriously, I’ll think about it and give you some real suggestions when I see you in three days!

Maybe make a date for an all-day mom-daughter thing of each one’s choice? You could do the spa thing (if they/you like that), or just window shop and have a lunch together, or go to the zoo, or catch a concert together, or ???

Leslie, if your daughters like to read I highly recommend A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks if they haven’t already read it. It is a wonderful read, keep tissues handy. It was made into a movie that I also enjoyed. Have they read Little Women, one of my favorites when I was much younger also the original (to me) movie with June Allyson & Margaret O’Brien. Such a good story. The suggestions that others made about a day for the girls is a wonderful idea. Other than that I’m clueless. My only granddaughter is 9 & still plays with dolls & likes to do crafts. :stocking: :santahat: Good luck shopping. :candycane:
