Birthday Presents

Savannah has been very blessed already with several birthday gifts and a card that she reads several times a day. It has really been fun to watch her start to understand that these presents are for her birthday, unlike the other presents in the office that are for daddy (those she just stares at wishing she could rip into them). "Sanana's presents" she says over and over when she receives a gift.


Anyway, today she received a gift wrapped in very cute Ariel wrapping paper. As we left church she insisted on carrying "the pincess" all of the way out and noted several times that it was a princess package. We had a couple of errands to run and finally made it home a couple of hours later. I think she stared at that package in the car the entire morning and kept plotting how she could open it before her birthday. Well she finally got her chance . . . as we got home the phone was ringing and it was Mrs. Marlene, our sweet neighbor. I stepped out for literally two minutes and this is what I found when I came back




That stinker had not only pulled the gift (along with all of our mail) off the counter, but she had completely unwrapped the box, taken the cute new pajamas out, and was trying to put them on! I guess we're in for a real treat this year as she opens gifts. No more help from mommy is needed!
