Favorite Childhood Memory

This is my mom and I as she is about to be married to my stepdad Steve.
He raised me from 2 till I was 16. I had a wonderful childhood and I have tons of great memories. I was the only child for 10 years, so I was pretty much spoiled rotten, even though we were hippies and didnt have a whole lot, I always felt like I had tons! My parents loved me, spoiled me, and took me on the greatest vacations ever. We camped, hiked, drove wherever and whenever.
My favorite childhood memory is when I woke up on Christmas morning, when I was 9 years old, and I saw my dream Barbie Van under the tree! I couldnt believe it!!
I was so thrilled to put the stickers on the van, and couldnt wait to get started. I got cool Diddo jeans, and some cool Nike shoes. My other all time favorite gift that Christmas was a tape recorder (that would soon bite me in the ass when Clifford Sandon heard me singing a song that I had recorded on that fine peice of equipment-I was completley mortified!!! he was my crush for many many years!!). My parents got me Pink Floyd, The Wall tape to play and I was in heaven!(I told you we were hippes!)
I sat in my room for about an hour and a half putting stickers on that Barbie van and listening to that tape as loud as I could get it. I soon, loaded up all my barbies and off to their far away camp they would go (the other side of my room)
My parents loved me, supported me, and gave me the greatest music to listen to ever.
