I took WAY too long to look at this one! By and large we do pretty well, though we always consider a noisy gift for one nephew whose parents gave my youngest a VERY noisy train once. We were so glad when it stoped working. That's funny because we enjoy the sound of the real trains that pass by on the other side of the sheep field a LOT.

I gave my husband a fountain thing, or more accurately a waterfall, for the office, and we love it. Guess we're not bothered by running water.

Perhaps the gift that got oldest in a hurry was the fact that the furnace quit for the third time in 2 weeks. Hoewver, we decided that Santa came in a red and yellow truck, when the repairman was there in less than an hour, and well and truly fixed the bleedin' thing!
