"I want to be a builder"

Lela got a set of Magnatiles for Christmas.  We had heard that they were amazing toys, and I was really hoping they delivered on that promise since they cost their weight in gold. (True story: apparently the factory they are made in in Thailand was flooded a few years ago and they started selling so high on ebay that the company dramatically raised prices once they restarted production).  Anyway, these tiles have magnets on the edges so they snap together in really fun ways.  Lela has been playing with them daily. This was a palace for her little animal collection.  

Lela has announced that she wants to be a builder when she grows up.  Not a bad choice!

Note that Santa is rooming with Baby Piggie and the Easter Bunny, a snake, Simba from the Lion King, and a Christmas M&M.   Their pets in the courtyard include a zebra, a t-rex (a nice one, not a mean one), a cow and a lobster.
