Brown paper packages tied up with strings...

On Thursday, We got two packages and two letters. The girls were so excited, especially since most of it was for them. They were excited about these new clothes that they got from Gawbie and Grandpa and had to put them on right away.

Shortly after the picture above was taken, the two girls stood up in that chair and tipped it over before I could stop them. Alyssa cried from fear and Ashley stood right up and continued playing (even though she was the one that ended up on the bottom of the pile when they fell - She has no fear). As soon as Alyssa calmed down, she wanted to take a few more pictures with her new clothes. Ashley had moved on. That puppy that she is holding is the prize possession in our house. It is Alyssa's, but Ashley constantly asks to play with it.

The other things that we got that day were the following: Alyssa got piano music from Grandma Bev, both girls got ice cream money from Great Grandma and Grandpa Ginos, and I got a new food processor(a gift that Danny and I chose from his companys catalog for hitting his 5 year mark with them). Thanks to all who sent the gifts.
