BETSEY'S 20th BIRTHDAY - AGAIN!!!!!

First gift!

Two t-shirts for layering. She loved them!

Second gift - The Christmas Story Leg Lamp! Talk about
excited! She is in 7th heaven!

The real McCoy (actually a replica of said lamp).

Story behind the lamp: The FEBC college students had a White Elephant Gift Exchange. One of the kids got a leg lamp for their gift. Betsey went wild. She wanted one so bad. So, I called the new owner of said lamp and she didn't want to sell it. So, I thought of ebay. After losing six bids for the lamps (they go as high as $380), I almost quit. I said I will try one more time. If I lose, we will head to Victoria Secret and get her a stash of Love Spell. Well, this time I won! The lamp was delivered on Monday - the day before we went to Ft. Wayne for Science Central and meeting Betsey for dinner that evening. I should have taken her gifts that day - but we waited until today and had Tortilla Soup, grape juice, Lacey's cookies and her gifts. Quite a day!

BTW, I am really into this ebay thing. I just won two bids for dresses for Elyse. They are very nice dresses, but I only paid about $7.50 each. Such a deal! Does anyone want something from ebay - I love the excitement of seeing if I win the bid. My new fad!
