She had no clue what was coming. David and Vickie, well mostly David, barely made the wait until Christmas. You see, they bought this a long time ago. They actually bought a red 4-wheeler but when they heard Pearl wanted a pink one, they went out and bought a second one. They are crazy in love with this kid! The kid has way too much of her father in her. By 5, she'll be flying off ramps, trails, and doing "bagels" as she calls spinning doughnuts. I fear the worst by the time she is 16. Actually, I was quite impressed at how well she can steer. We will be setting a few rules though... like always wearing your helmet, only staying in the backyard (we had a slight incident with running off the sidewalk into the road), no crashing on purpose anyway, and no hitting it into reverse with your foot on the gas. Jeff had a hard time convincing her to take a break and come back inside for more gift opening. Cole was squealing with delight every time his sister zoomed (at 5 mph) past... minus having to wear his hat.
She loved it. I guess it was a good thing we didn't get a white Christmas so she could drive around the yard all day.
Oh and if you're wondering why I dubbed this post, "Meals on Wheels" well, last night we took dinner over to our other neighbors and Pearl drove her new toy. I jokingly told Tiff, it was a "meals on wheels" delivery!
