Firefighter Biscuit finds a home

When my in-laws come for their winter visit, they split time between mine and Jeff's house and Jeff's brother and sister-in-law's house. So since they'll be leaving our house tomorrow and won't be coming back until after Christmas, we decided to let Biscuit open presents from them tonight.

I was really excited to see him open one particular present ... a vintage fire station playset.

It pains me to say that the vintage playset was made in 1980. I was in sixth grade in 1980. I don't want to think that things I owned at 12 years old could now be vintage! But that was 31 years ago. THIRTY-ONE YEARS!!!

Anyway, Biscuit opened the fire station this evening, and he loved it. He's been playing with it nonstop, swapping the firefighters and the dalmation (aka fire dog) into different vehicles, up and down the ladders and into the fire station.

There's a crank on the side of the fire station that raises and lowers to garage-type door on the front. And just for kicks, it has a bell that rings as you crank the door up and down. You didn't think it was possible to have a completely silent toy for a toddler, did you?!?

Here's Biscuit playing with his new favorite gift:
