They came in with the most beautiful gift bags. The girls were sleeping when they arrived, but knew they were coming, as we had discussed the internet birthday card that Mesai had received for her birthday.
I brought them downstairs and without prompting they went from person to person saying hello. They have such impeccible manners. It is so sweet.
It was so neat to see the delight on the girls' faces when they saw their gift bags. Mesai has had a birthday, but this was Gadisae's first gift. As the bags were handed to them she did not dive into hers. First, Mesai said, "What is this?" in her typical fashion. Gadisae watched Mesai to see what she would do and then followed suit in taking out the tissue paper in her bag.
Beautiful Bags
Oh Look!Click on the picture and look at Mesai's delight and Gadisae's thrill. Such a happy moment for Gadisae, especially, since she had not opened a gift before!
Mrs. V. Showing the Girls Their Gifts
The girls received the most cozy, beautiful pajamas, and then discovered something else. What could it be? Mrs. V. had thoughtfully and patiently searched for weeks to find the girls' music boxes! When they opened it it was the most amazing thing. It was the epitomy of a little girl's gift. Every little girl should have a music box. What an amazing keepsake!
But that was not all! Within the music boxes each of the girls had an exquisite, tiny, silver bracelet engraved with their names! So beautiful!
Enjoying the Beautiful Butterfly DancingWhen the girls went to bed they had a chance to play their music boxes as they went to sleep.
We were very touched by the thoughtfulness of this welcome. And not only did they think of the girls, but Mrs. V. and her daughter Penny, also brought the boys a wonderful filled box of cookies!! Oh, and you should see the decorating! Who could eat these works of art? Well, actually, I did, and so did the rest of the family. They will probably be gone by tomorrow! *laugh* They were so tasty. But seriously! If you could see the pitiful cookies that are decorated at my house.... *grin*
Unfortunately, Mr. V, and his grandson, Tyler, left to get gas right before I took this picture. So they are not in the photo.

Such cute jewelry boxes! I had one very similar to those two but with a twirling ballerina...well, it twirled until my brother and cohorts decided to attack it with their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toys. Oh well, it still played a nice song! :)
I really enjoyed your blogs posted today. You were up rather late posting them! I was missing your family. All of your children seem to be doing so well. It is a joy to watch through pictures and your writings how they are learning lessons on life. May God continue to bless you and your family. Judy
Love the matching clothes! Enjoy it while it lasts!
