Jingle Bells

Definitely in the top 5 toy list were some plastic eggs filled with rice that Grana sent to the girls for Easter. Mom has since stepped or sat on all of them - draining them of their magical shaking properties. The remains of one is still suffering a meager existence being held together with masking tape. But to replace those tired eggs, Grana sent jingle bells. The girls were slow to pick them up (perhaps because I enjoyed using the velcro strap to attach the bells to their ankles and wrists, which they hated), but once they figured out that they could be use to make noise, they became all the rage.
