real life rolly!

The last Christmas present finally came.  Ledger knew this one was coming, so he's been anticipating it for a while now.  Ledger has this character that he loves to draw, his name is Rolly and he's a donut with wings.  He's been drawing him and his adventures for almost three years (not that long, granted, but that's almost half of Ledger's life!).  Way back in October we came across this website that takes a child's drawing and turns it into a stuffed animal.  As soon as Ledge heard about that he wanted us to order him a Rolly.  They are very expensive and take a few months, so we told him maybe.  Hoping it would come in time for Christmas, we decided to do it.  Ledge drew us a nice big picture of Rolly and we had him color it too.  We took a picture of it and sent it in for them to work their magic on.  We didn't quite get it in time for Christmas, but when it finally came he was beyond excited!
We brought it in and all sat around him while he opened the box.  We unwrapped the tissue paper and there he was- in the flesh! (or, more accurately, 'in the plush').  It looked fantastic- exactly like he was supposed to!  Now our boy had his very own Rolly in real life!
