Christmas in May!

We've got ourselves a menagerie! This afternoon, there was another package on our doorstep.

This box traveled all the way from North Carolina, from my Aunt Nancy. She hand-made this card...the bear is stitched! She has all sorts of great designs. I think they are so darling. She totally needs to start an online store!

Two sweet little giraffes to add to the crib.

Our niece, Analise, had a little stuffed elephant on her car seat handle named Ellie and he went EVERYWHERE with her. Vinnie almost mistook it for one of his toys a couple of times, but Ellie's been in it for the long haul and still has a place hanging in their car. I think this giraffe is going to have a similar future. It's a teether and if you pull the string, it vibrates. He also matches the bigger, patchwork-corduroy giraffe.

The finger puppets are just too stinking cute! I forsee 10 verses of "Old MacDonald" with these guys. Does anyone know what sound a moose makes?

What a nice surprise! Thank you, Aunt Nancy, for thinking of the three of us!
