Last Friday Night

Looking through the pictures on my phone tonight I realized I never shared these from last Friday night. Dave's sister had sent the girls gifts for Christmas, and rather than having them open them on Christmas morning we decided that we'd give them to them Friday night (as the weekend before Christmas is traditionally a very busy one for Dave at Williams-Sonoma). The girls were super surprised to be opening a gift on Friday night, and even more surprised to see what they contained! Emma was thrilled to have mama and papa mouse join the mouse family, and Grace was so excited to be gifted the cat and mouse ballerina set. She decided to name the cat, Caterina, and the mouse, Anastasia. My apologies that there are no pictures of the girls opening their gifts, but we decided to record video to send to Donna and the pictures I took while taking the video were very grainy. Thank you, Donna, Peter and Henry for the wonderful gifts for the girls. They will be cherished for many years (and perhaps decades and generations) to come!  xo
