This sweet little gnome arrived in our mail yesterday! He (we've decided he's a he) comes to us all the way from Canada! My lovely friend Kim, from Mothering with Mindfulness, surprised us with him. She had asked for our address a few weeks ago, but I figured it was simply to send us a holiday card. Never did I expect to receive a little gift from her too! The girls just "ooh"ed and "ahh"ed over how adorable this little gnome is (and so did I). They then asked who sent him and I told them about Kim and where she lives. Right away Grace said: "Oh, the country with the maple leaf on it's flag!" Thanks so much Kim for thinking of us. He will surely be a well loved addition to our family. I hope there comes a day where we can visit in person sometime! Oh, how simply fabulous that would be!

Surprises From Gramma
Today a package arrived in the mail for the girls. Before I started getting dinner ready I opened the paper it was wrapped in and removed two packages wrapped in white paper. One was labeled "For Grace" the other "For Emma". I brought the packages in where the girls were playing and they looked up, eyes full of wonder. "Are they for us, mama?" "Are they from Gramma?" After the "ooh"ing and "aah"ing over the sweet gift tags with their names on them (a trait they clearly inherited from my Mom) they finally tore into the paper to reveal the surprises that were underneath: books! What could be better?! Thanks for the wonderful new books, Gramma! We know what we'll be reading at bedtime tonight! XO
