Presents From Keri

Today in the mail we got a big package from Keri, Chris' good friend from college. The girls were very excited about the package, but we waited until just before bedtime to open it.

The girls couldn't wait to see what was inside!It was presents! Some were for Kate's birthday, and some were for Chris' birthday, which is coming up next week.Connor got a present too! He even opened it himself.It was a blue octopus--he was thrilled! He shook it as hard as he could.Kate got a little can with a cow on it that makes a "moo" sound when she shakes it. She loves it!Kate also got a fuzzy cuddly bunny, which immediately got some hugs.It wasn't Emily's birthday, but we pretended that the "Punk-u-pine" was for her. It's a scrub brush shaped like a porcupine. Oddly, she loves it!Chris got a "New Milford, CT" shirt, which is Keri's home town. Keri is a faithful reader of our blog, and commented on how Chris wears the same damn t-shirt in many of the posts. Chris promises to rotate in the Connecticut shirt as much as possible.Thank you for thinking of us Keri!
