Thank you Secret Pal for sending adorable Magnolia to us! She’s soft and cuddly, and even comes complete with a red thread in her coat pocket! Her tag said that she was born in March 2004 … that’s when our little girl Sophie was born in China too. Talk about red threads!

Thank you again, we will treasure her.

Love,

Jill, Pete, and Sophie

Sweetest Secret Pal
I really love the books you sent us this month. "A Treasury for One Year Olds" and "Two year olds" They are two large books of stories and nursery rhymes. The "Five Little Ladybugs" is a book I have had my eye on for a while. One of my memories as a child was my mom reading to me every night and that is something I want to share with my baby when she finally gets here. These books will make a great addition to a growing library of children books. Thanks so much for the sweet card too.

To Jonsson´s family secret pal!

I´m sorry that I haven´t posted until now but I have been so busy at work lately!
Thank you so much for your latest gifts to us. I just love the pumpkin book, the towels , photo frame and the cute cookie cutters. I also got recipe cards that I can send to friends and write my own favourite recipes and also thanks for your recipe written on one card.

It is so much fun opening your packages! Thank you so much. Bye.

From the de la Rosa's! Hey there secret pal! This month's pkg was great~! My SP gave me "My Book about ME"-the infamous Dr. Suess book. I actually remember having this book when I was little. I read through it and daydreamed of the day I would help Amelie fill it out. The Sharing with Renoir board book is wonderful as well. David and I love going to art museums, we hope our daughter will share that interest with us! Thank you again for putting a smile on my face!

Thomas Family Secret Pal
For October we got a beautiful Winter Outfit that is cuddly soft! Thank you so much for this beautiful outfit. We love it and it is sooo soft. We have very few winter clothes in the closet. So this was very much needed! I love corduroy pants! This outfit is just perfect!
For September our secret pal sent us this beautiful butterfly mobile! Which I LOVE! The colors work wonderfully with the room and I cannot wait to hang it over her crib! I am going to add photos later of the entire mobile. (I have misplaced my camera!)
I love this! Thank you soooo much!
My Secret Pal Rocks!

To my secret pal - I am so sorry that this has taken so long to get up. It has been one of those months!

Thank you so much for the fun Halloween themed gift! This is one of my favorite holidays and Olivia is covered for next year! Such a cute "ghoul power" tee shirt" and little witch socks, and a fun Halloween bib!

You are terrific and I hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving next week.

(Yikes- I can't get my picture to stick... I'll post it soon!)

I wanted to thank my secret pal for two really cute books/ toys. We now have Granny's purse and Grandpa's Briefcase. They are very cute and quite creative books. I have never seen anything quite like them. I'm sorry that I can't post pictures, but they are very nice. They actually came a week or so ago, but I thought they were something I ordered for my daughters birthday so I didn't open the box until what I ordered came today. Then I was wondering well what's in that box then. My pal is so good to us. Best wishes, Erin Pascarella

Dear Secret Pal,

Thank you for the fabulous gifts that you sent us for October and November! The baby clothing, hat with mittens, Possum Magic and Koala Lou books, candy (yummy!), and special Magical Magnet book for Sophie are all so sweet and thoughtful. I already started reading the books to Sophie, and she loves them!

We appreciate all of your gifts. I know we will enjoy them for many years to come (except the candy … that may be gone before the end of the day :) ).
Sincerely,

Jill, Pete, Sophie (and Violet)

Thank you Smith Secret Pal for the last two months!

The doorbell rang while I was watching Adoption Stories on Discovery Health with our October gift. It is the sweetest little sweater and hat. It made me cry has I watched a little girl from Korea get a forever family.

And last month was great too. We love the little doll because she has dark hair. We are so blessed with our secret pal. Every time I write about the gifts I feel like it is never enough because they are so special and so great. Thank you secret pal for taking the time to pick such wonderful things for us.

Love
The Smith family

Thanks to the Wingenter secret pal! I have not taken pictures yet, simply because we have moved, and have not unpacked everything yet, I started feeling badly for not posting thank you's for our last two gifts. First from the nursery themed gift, so cute, she gave us a darling little angel night light/lamp. It's just too precious! Then for Baby bed time, we got some ready great books! Thanks again, and I promise to do better, and post pictures as soon as we get more settled!

Gray Secret Pal!

Thankyou so much for your wonderful gifts!!
Also I need to apologise for being so tardy in thanking you for your kindness and generosity...I only just realised that I haven't thanked you for both September OR October! I am very sorry for seeming so ungrateful BUT I am very thankful and appreciative:-)

For September Bed Time gift, we received the prettiest soft pink blanket and such sweet little PJs. I can't wait to see our little one dozing off in her cot wearing those pretty jammies!

October's pressie is also fabulously cute - My First Fish Bowl, with water and fish and starfish...so adorable! Fun for bub to play, 'put in and take out'!
Thankyou so much for the really wonderful gifts for our little one to enjoy!
Tiff, Andrew, Emily and Lucy
PS I have just added a photo of the gorgeous swimmers you sent to us for August....sooo cute ;-)

Thank you to the Totten secret pal. I'm sorry it has taken a few days to post my thank you. This month I received a Halloween Eeyore and the cutest book Pumpkin Soup. I can't wait to read this book to Grace. We also received some yummy halloween candy but I'm sad to report it is already gone. Thanks again.

Thankyou to the O'Brien's very thoughtful secret pal!

I wanted to sent a heartfelt thankyou to Anisha's secret pal. She sent this beautiful outfit for Anisha. This pretty pink jacket with a hood, bows, and flowers on it with a matching white and pink floral shirt and the jeans they are so cute! They even have the same design on the bottom of the pantleg. I cant wait to dress Anisha up in this outfit. And as always a very special card to go with the gift.
Thankyou so much secret pal you made my day!
