Secret Pal you are awesome!! Thanks so much for the gifts. We let Sophie take a look inside the “Backyard Buddies” box and she loved the little googly eyes (she even called them googly) that came in the kit. As you can see from the picture Oatmeal (the bear) and Curious George both liked it too. We really appreciate the “Nappy Sacks”. Our hotel room in China didn’t always smell so nice on the trip to get Sophie and these should really help. The Australian stamps were neat too. The barrettes are so cute! Sorry, we missed mentioning this the last time -- but they look great in Sophie’s hair -- and I’m sure they will in Violet’s too.

We had a great time opening the box. We attached before and after photos … on the second one, you can see where Sophie snuck in and opened the box and took everything out (and even put on the shirt!) after we put it away :).

Thanks for everything.

Pete, Jill and Sophie
