Little people maybe?

My parents just gifted a grocery stand a shopping cart, so we will have that stuff to put together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400532 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 16:46:58 +0000 Missbrie 2400532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had two things ( a slide/ climbing toy and a playhouse) and we only got one done- the slide. He is only 19 months and got lots of other stuff so we will do the playhouse when we get to it. It looked like a pain to assemble and we ran out of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400469 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 12:55:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2400469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: exciting!

Undo two packing screws, install those two elsewhere. Install two more for the handle. Done! :grin: I somehow don't think next year will be as easy. I foresee a Kidcraft kitchen in our future! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400442 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 11:50:24 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2400442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to put together the jumbo cardboard blocks, but they didn't get assembled until after they were unwrapped :) They were a lot more tricky than I realized they would be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400440 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 11:49:18 +0000 mrsjazz 2400440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her doll house but it was surprisingly easy to put together. DH was supposed to do it but I did it in 15 minutes while he slept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400419 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 10:38:30 +0000 Greentea 2400419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually got things purposely for DH and DD to assemble together- they love doing it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400405 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 10:05:26 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2400405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a bright beats but didn't assemble it until after DD opened it. She's 7 months so she doesn't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400402 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 10:01:56 +0000 yoursilverlining 2400402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: we had that one last year. Oy, took me like 7 hours to put together! The worst!</p> <p>This year the only thing we had to put together was a ballet barre which took maybe 10 minutes. LO got a bike/trike from her godmother but that arrived preassembled! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400398 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 09:43:00 +0000 catomd00 2400398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: that is definitely something you hire someone to do! ;) as we were putting together the kitchen, we were kicking ourselves for not calling the guy who put together our nursery furniture! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400397 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 09:41:54 +0000 catomd00 2400397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: haha ours only had 24 steps but each step had like 3 sub steps - DH was so mad they tried to trick us! It was definitely a parenting rite of passage and it was fun once it was together and totally worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400390 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 09:24:06 +0000 rattles 2400390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A playhouse for the backyard. It went more quickly than I expected! Her Hape space center had to be built, but it was minor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400388 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 09:20:59 +0000 avivoca 2400388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just the Nod Chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400385 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 09:14:11 +0000 lawbee11 2400385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, a train table.

That probably means 2 handy competent-with-tools people and I'm not that, so who knows if they'll ever get to play on it :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400362 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 07:54:07 +0000 erinbaderin 2400362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: Us too - I couldn't believe how many pieces it came in! I sent my husband down at 7:30pm to do it, went down at 9:30 and he was surrounded by pieces, on step 21 of 37. It took the two of us together another 45 minutes. It was fun, though, it felt like one of those mandatory parenting moments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400359 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 07:49:21 +0000 Charm54 2400359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glitter Glider castle, only took about 20 minutes and it was fairly painless</p> <p>@catomd00: oh man, that was a PITA!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400358 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 07:46:39 +0000 catomd00 2400358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kidkraft kitchen-they don't mess around! Took 3.5 hours and of course we waited until the last minute to do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400345 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 06:23:25 +0000 Truth Bombs 2400345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to put together the new baby's anywhere chair. But that was easy and I did it a week ago. I'm so happy our 3 year old didn't ask for anything that needs to<br /> Be assembled </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400340 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 06:15:51 +0000 hellobeeboston 2400340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We got LO wooden train tracks so we set them up on his train table. We were so tired from a long day so it's not th greatest set up but LO loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-to-assemble-anything-on-christmas-morning#post-2400334 Sat, 26 Dec 2015 05:30:58 +0000 mrbee 2400334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a play tent for the kids and it was surprisingly tricky to assemble! I usually don't mind assembling things, but it was stressful because the kids could have woken up at any moment and seen Dad assembling gifts left by "Santa"!!</p> <p>Gotta up my Christmas prep next year. After all was said and done thought, the kids had so much playing in the play tent all day that it all felt worth it!</p> <p>Did you have to assemble anything for Christmas? </p>
