Wednesday, December 19 - There was a gift on our front porch for Emily when we got home. She was so excited to open it that she sat down right there to open it up. It was cookie cutters and few books from my sweet friend, Rebecca (thank you!)

Thursday, December 20 - The next day, there were most gift on the porch for Emily. My friends seriously spoil my child! It was an adorable ornament (that she plays with daily) and a Tinkerbell hopscotch mat. She loved her gifts! Thanks Kyle and Uncle Berry and Aunt 'Ney!
