One last Christmas post - to Uncle Mike

Uncle Mike is Matt's brother - for those of you who don't know.

While we love ALL of our presents - it just has to be said - Uncle Mike is the best present giver on the planet!

There was the first ride on toy Shaun ever got as a baby that is still in comission and a favorite to play with at Neena Joan's house - despite both our kids greatly out growing it.

There was the big blow up ball pit Shaun lived in for months.

There was the huge cardboard play house that you could color on to decorate it. So cool!

There were endless Irish presents (did I mention Uncle Mike is very into our Irish heritage?)


I could go on and on - as there are many more - but he topped them all this year with Ainsley's present. (Shaun got a very cool baseball pitching trainer - but I have to focus on Ainsley's).

It is the coolest thing I've ever seen for a kid.


I give you.......


The Hot Dog House!
It is super easy to put together, kind of like a tent. It has a window (she is standing in) that has slide curtains for when it is "closed". On the side is a door that velcro's closed and ties up when open. It is HUGE inside, even Shaun can stand up straight inside. That is really an awning that hangs out over the front too!
I can't wait for her to serve some hotdogs and corn dogs out of it at our Holiday Bowl party on Wednesday! (Make a little cash for the family! ;-)
To you Uncle Mike - we say a great big Thank You!
To the rest of you out there - step it up guys - Uncle Mike has got the Title of Best Present Giver locked! (just kidding - we love all your presents too - - really, we do).
