A Lovely Surprise

Yesterday a surprise arrived for Grace and Emma. Adam, who we met when we took the girls to Disney for the first time two years ago, had bought them these Elsa and Anna figurines to give them on the Disney Cruise (he and his husband Tony were also coming on the cruise, too). Since we didn't end up going thanks to Hurricane Matthew, he let me know he'd be sending a package for the girls instead.

When we arrived home from doing errands yesterday we noticed that there was a package waiting for us. I was shocked to see that it had arrived already! The girls were very surprised to have two such beautifully wrapped packages to open yesterday, and even more when they saw what was inside!

Thank you, Adam and Tony, for all your kindness! We are grateful our paths crossed two years ago and are so sorry to have not been on the cruise this year! Hopefully our paths will cross at Disney again someday! xo

A Surprise For Grace And Emma

 Yesterday a gift arrived for Grace and Emma. We were a little confused at first but then after we read the card a few times we realized that it was an early holiday gift to celebrate the new (lesson) year so we figured it was safe to open!

 The excitement was palpable. 

 And once they saw what was inside it was definitely as if Christmas morning had arrived!

Thanks you, Aunt Lucia and Uncle Joe, for the wonderful books for the girls! They are so excited to have more books in two of their most favorite series, and I have no doubt that they will be enjoyed over and over for years to come (and perhaps even when they have kids of their own)! xo

A Surprise For Grace And Emma

The day before Emma's birthday a box for the girls arrived from my uber talented Aunt Gail. Not wanting the wonderful surprised to get lost in the birthday festivities I put the box in my closet to wait for a day after the birthday excitement had passed. Yesterday, before lessons and before our day really got going (and what a glorious March day it was!) I brought the box out and read the letter to the girls. They were absolutely surprised and so very excited to have a  more new clothes (lovely new wardrobe, really) for the dolls they had been gifted two Christmases ago!

Thank you, Aunt Gail, for the wonderful surprise! The clothes fit the dolls perfectly and they have been changed in and out of each dress several times over the last two days! xo
