Grandson Ned's Birthday

Got invited for the youngest G'son's b'day at oldest son's home in St. Paul. Thank God for Apostrophes!!
My wife had talked with Katie and found out that Ned (short for Edward-often called Nedward by Sessa) loves trucks and dinosaurs. Doesn't every little boy? Anyhoo, at Target they have the world's greatest selection of dinos--- bought about a baker's dozen of nice-sized very colorful, and anatomically correct (as far as THAT goes).
LSW (long suffering wife) had the great idea to pack them in an empty Menard's store butter-flavored pretzel container. Sessa had the job of removing the label, then Grandma wrapped the INSIDE of the container with colorful paper, snapped the lid on and added a mess of curly ribbon on top. Looked great and Ned seemed overjoyed by the dinos. He tried to hold all of them at once as much to show his pleasure as to try to keep them away from his four year old brother, Thomas, who loves cars AND dinosaurs. Very mature 6 year old sister, Lucy, ignored the dinos but did say they smelled funny, and seemed quite interested in smoothing out the wrapping papers. Go figure.
