It had been back ordered and took a few weeks to arrive. When she got it, it was like watching a kid open her very first Christmas gift ever. Wide-eyed and opened mouthed, she looked at it/held it like it was the most precious thing in the world - and it was amazing to watch. The faces on your kids above remind me of that, which is pretty darn cool :-)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing it...Feliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09017194727231120284noreply@blogger.com
