I love the Melissa & Doug toys. I scored big at Once Upon A Child (resale store) and got a ton of Melissa & Doug toys. It's my toy stock for birthdays, Christmas, or just being at Nana's house. Some were $3.50 - nothing over $5.
As a little girl, I loved paper dolls and wanted the girls to have some. Lucked out and got a huge basket full of Melissa & Doug "paper" dolls/clothes. They love them.

Man, that is AWESOME! I wish I would stock toys, but I can't save them. LOL!
Yes, I have the magnetic paper dolls - princess, ballerina, Joey, and Jack. My granddaughter is still putting everything in her mouth, like her daddy did, so I have to really watch her when she is playing with anything. lol

Re: Grand Girls Update
Hey Pressing On, check out this page - not something for the grandkiddos. But definitely something that "looks like you"

Re: Grand Girls Update
My son has been married for a little over a year and a half... you guys are making me very excited for my future grandchildren (which, according to my daughter-in-law, won't exist for another 5+ years... but we shall see)!! lol

Better move to the thread - Is it to early to argue about Christmas?? or start a new one.
And, BTW, you didn't report back on the country themed event you had.

Oh gosh, I'm sorry! I thought for sure that I had  My mistake.
So the Mother-Daughter Banquet with the country theme was wonderful. We had a southern gospel kind of group come in and do music for us (this is a group that meets every Monday night in a nearby town. Whoever shows up plays and/or sings. It's very informal but LOTS of fun!)
We used aluminum foil pans to eat out of, Ball jars to drink from, red and blue paisley napkins (men's hankies). And we made cute little gifts for each person out of burlap - made little sacks. Filled them with candies and tied with jute. The centerpieces for every table was a cake on a pedestal (we always do that. I think it's time to change the tradition, but who am I? lol!) We set up a couple of photo op areas with straw bales, wooden fencing, a saddle, etc.
For food we ended up with the fried chicken meal catered by our local nursing home except that I made homemade dinner rolls because theirs are not as good as mine. We had sweet tea, unsweetened tea, lemonade and water.
