Anya got TWO packages in the mail today. TWO. One from each of her Grandmas. She thought it was her birthday. (She told me today that she wants 18 presents for her birthday. I’m not sure if that is total or per person.) I let her open the box from Grandma Cheryl, but I wanted to wait until Andy was home to open the box from Grandma Diane. Anya would have none of that. I went to get the phone to call Andy to see if he would be sad if we opened the box without him, and before I could make it back to Anya’s room, I hear crazy squealing. I open the door and she is pulling off the box’s packing tape. She is ripping that box apart. So, I let her open it.
Her is Anya posing with her Grandma Diane Easter Loot. I tried to get her to smile a normal-ish smile, and she did. A normal Anya smile.
And what was in the Grandma Cheryl box, you ask? Why this awesome new summer dress with fairy tale fabric (and some other clothes, but this was the big squeal generator).
Yes, I cut Anya’s bangs. Yes, they are incredibly crooked. Send me a kid-sized strait-jacket, and I’ll do a better job. Maybe.
Sorry to say that Anya picked out the fabric for the dress last year! Used a size 3 pattern but, the dress looks a little biggish/longish. Feed that kid some of Jack-in-the-Beanstalk’s magic growing beans!
Carol, Hey I love her dress did your Mom make it? It is adorable. She is Adorable!
@Ashley
Yup, she did! (Just to check, you are new scrapbook gal, right?)
I love the smile!!!! She is truly one little happy girl!
