Those of you with girls understand my love/hate relationship with this horse. Ella wanted one for Christmas so bad!! She told everyone that she knew that she was going to be a good girl and Santa was going to bring her "Butterscotch." She accidentally found one of her Christmas presents hiding in my closet and she said "Oh no Santa brought the wrong thing, take it back to store and get Butterscotch." As much as I love to make my little girl happy, I just couldn't justify shelling out the almost $300 for a toy that didn't seem to do all that much. Luckily, Aunt Sandy saved the day!!!! Sandy lives on a farm in the neatest house built in the late 1800's out in Greensboro, Maryland. She gratiously volunteered to let us tell Ella that Santa left a pony for her at Sandy's house where it could be taken care of. She even let Ella rename it. Christmas Eve we went over to Sandy's and all eagerly watched Ella's reaction to getting what we considered the best present a 3 year old obsessed with horses could get. Ella was uncharacteristically shy at first but as soon as everyone (and all their cameras) went back inside, she really warmed up and was so excited!
