Presents and Silliness

Last week Arabella was surprised when two "care" packages from the States arrived for her! Grampie and Heather sent her a box full of beautiful summer outfits and 2 new pairs of shoes...she loved the shoes and kept pulling them out and would say "WOW" at the top of her lungs! I just love her enthusiasm and wonder at the small things. She even had fun popping the bubble wrap, I guess it is the little things that amuse her the most.







Auntie Vivi sent Arabella the cutest ladybug umbrella and some art supplies (which she tore right into). She loved walking around the yard with her new umbrella and is looking forward to using her new art supplies on a rainy day...which hopefully won't be anytime soon.





She is such a lucky little girl to have such wonderful family and friends (who are more like family than friends) who care so much about her. Thanks Grampie, Heather and Auntie Vivi!

As for her silliness, she was going crazy blowing bubbles and wearing mine and Auntie Lori's shoes around the house. Oh, and yes, I think we have created a Barbie monster...she got her first one last week! She had fun picking it out and I guess Barbies are not so bad, I loved mine and still have them.
